- The study assesses chronic pain prevalence in individuals with traumatic brain injury (TBI), finding that about 60% experience chronic pain at some point.

- The results highlight the need for more effective pain management and the inclusion of pain metrics in future research related to TBI.
Study Design: Qualitative study OBJECTIVES: To explore the unique experience of facilitators, barriers, rewards, and challenges related to pet ownership after spinal cord injury (SCI).
Setting: Zoom for Healthcare videoconferencing platform hosted from an American neuro-rehabilitation hospital in Colorado.
Methods: Sixteen individuals with SCI participated in three semi-structured focus groups of 5-6 participants each.
Objective: To evaluate the safety and efficacy of treadmill training with virtual reality compared to treadmill training alone and standard of care balance and mobility treatment in chronic traumatic brain injury (TBI).
Participants And Design: Thirty-one individuals with chronic TBI with self-reported and objective balance deficits participated in a 4-week 12 session intervention of treadmill training with virtual reality, treadmill training alone, or standard of care overground therapy.
Outcome Measures: Primary measures included recruitment and enrollment rates, retention, tolerance to intervention, completeness of outcome measures, and adverse events.
