MWITA-NCO-2026-004 · Evidence A · P1
Two weeks of immersive virtual-movement therapy reduced neuropathic pain more than a headset-based 2D-film control among spinal-cord-injury patients who completed the trial.
What this does not establish
This is short-term completer evidence with 9/52 attrition, concurrent standard care and no long-term follow-up. It does not measure adoption, adherence after the trial, medication reduction, QALYs, employment, cost, revenue or profit.
Counterevidence & uncertainty
Control patients also improved materially; neurological-level subgroup comparisons were nonsignificant, including the largest T9-T12 pain change (p=0.109; CI crossed zero).
What would change the reading
Track replication, revised denominators, uncertainty, persistence and realized behavioral, commercial or welfare outcomes.
