About this trial
In the sponsor's words
Many individuals with multiple sclerosis (MS), spinal cord injury (SCI), acquired amputation (AMP), muscular dystrophy (MD), and low back pain (LBP) experience pain. There has been little research on how to treat this pain. Different types of treatment that include self-hypnosis, education about chronic pain, and learning skills on how to change how a person thinks about his/her pain have been used to treat chronic pain in the general population. The purpose of this study is to see if these different treatments can help decrease pain in people with multiple sclerosis and spinal cord injury, and determine how and why these treatments are effective. A subject must have a diagnosis of MS,SCI, AMP, MD, or LBP, have chronic pain, and be at least 18 years old to participate.
