This intervention will consist of an IVR that is focused on distracting the subject from the pain. Subjects in this group will be exposed to a variety of engaging landscape IVR environments, without the ability to visualize their own body.

This intervention will consist of an IVR exposure to a black screen for 20 minutes. No light, images or scenery will be present in the IVR and it will serve as a control condition for the trial.

Users report the score of both neuropathic and other pain. The total score range is from 0 to 10, lowest score indicating 0, "No pain" and highest score indicating 10, "Pain as bad as it could be". The type of "other" pain will also be recorded (musculoskeletal, etc).

Beck Depression Inventory (BDI): Depression symptoms are estimated to be highly prevalent in SCI population and are associated with a myriad of negative outcomes including lower functional independence, and greater incidence of pain. This questionnaire is a 21-item, self-report rating inventory that measures characteristic attitudes and symptoms of depression. Depression may be a major contributor to a lack of reduction of pain, the study team expects subjects with high BDI score may have worse results after the IVR. Total score range for BDI is 0 - 63; scores from 0 through 9 indicate no or minimal depression; from 10 through 18 indicate mild to moderate depression; from 19 through 29 indicate moderate to severe depression; and from 30 through 63 indicate severe depression.

Self-reported relieving effect: At the end of the treatment (post-intervention), the Patient's Global Impression of Change (PGIC) will evaluate both motor function and pain. The total score range includes no change (score 0-1), minimally improved (score 2-3), much improved (score 4-5), and very much improved (score 6-7) as the highest score. The patients will answer the following question: "Since beginning treatment at this program, how would you describe the change (if any) in activity limitations, symptoms, emotions, and overall quality of life related to your condition?".

Immersive tendencies questionnaire (ITQ): In the field of virtual reality, presence and immersion are standard measures of an individual's sense of engagement and involvement in an activity. The study team expects that high levels of immersion might indicate greater engagement and therefore reduction of the pain. Total score range for ITQ: 18 - 126.

The UQO Presence questionnaire (UQO-PQ): Presence can be a major factor that determines the quality and success of a virtual environment implementation. Several factors such as impression of being present, realness, and discomfort are measured in this questionnaire. The questionnaire has users rank the extent the agree with each question with the total score range of 0 - 100; the lowest score indicating 0 - "Not at all" and the highest score indicating 100- "Totally".

Neuropathic Pain Scale (NPS): This scale was developed to assess both the quantitative and qualitative qualities of neuropathic pain (NP). It includes 11 items, assessing global pain intensity, unpleasantness, and one item which allows the patient to describe the temporal aspects of their pain and its qualities in their own words.The remaining 8 items assess specific NP qualities: "Sharp," "Hot," "Dull," "Cold," "Sensitive," "Itchy," "Deep," and "Surface." This is a sensitive tool for measuring changes in neuropathic pain after a therapeutic intervention. Total score range for NPS is 0 - 100, higher scores indicate more severity.
