Purpose: The aims of this study were to explore (1) the considerations of people with spinal cord injury (SCI) in choosing to use non-pharmacological treatments (N-PTs) for neuropathic pain (NP), (2) which factors influence their decision and who is involved in this choice.
Materials And Methods: Eleven individuals with SCI and NP were interviewed. Interviews were transcribed verbatim, transcripts were analysed through thematic coding, following an inductive content analysis approach.
Context/objective: Chronic pain is a common secondary condition in spinal cord injury (SCI). Pharmacological interventions to reduce pain are associated with side effects. The reported effects of non-pharmacological treatments are unclear.

Previous studies focused on immune-mediated processes, however, the exact pathomechanism of TIP is essentially unclear.
Methods: To model TIP in vivo, we triggered cerulein-induced experimental pancreatitis in mice receiving a daily oral dose of 1.
Objective: To describe the prevalence and characteristics of spinal cord injury (SCI)-related pain during initial inpatient rehabilitation and to investigate relationships with demographic and lesion characteristics.
Design: Cohort during inpatient rehabilitation.
Setting: Eight specialized SCI rehabilitation centers in the Netherlands.
