The effect of breathing exercises and mindset with or without cold exposure on mental and physical health in persons with a spinal cord injury-a protocol for a three-arm randomised-controlled trial.

Study Design: A three-arm randomized controlled trial.

Objectives: To investigate the effects of the Wim Hof Method (WHM), with (WHM-C) and without cold exposure (WHM-NC), on mental and physical health in persons with chronic spinal cord injury (SCI).

Setting: Rehabilitation centre (assessments and once-weekly intervention sessions) and home-based (daily intervention sessions).

The Effect of Mindset and Breathing Exercises on Physical and Mental Health in Persons with Spinal Cord Injury-A Pilot Feasibility Study.

This study investigated the feasibility and efficacy of mindset and breathing exercises (Wim Hof Method (WHM)) on physical and mental health in persons with spinal cord injury (SCI). Ten individuals with SCI participated in this pilot study. These ten participants followed a 4-week WHM intervention, with one weekly group session in the rehabilitation center and daily practice at home using the WHM app.

Percutaneous nerve stimulation in chronic neuropathic pain patients due to spinal cord injury: a pilot study.

Background: The long-term prognosis for neuropathic pain resolution following spinal cord injury (SCI) is often poor. In many SCI patients, neuropathic pain continues or even worsens over time. Thus, new treatment approaches are needed.
