Brief summary (from the registry)
The goal of this research is to investigate whether 2-4 weeks of augmented reality sensorimotor training induces positive changes so as to effect pain relief in patients with chronic neck pain. In addition, this study aims to determine if repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) delivered prior to augmented reality sensorimotor training enhances the benefits from the sensorimotor training. This study will also use a battery of questionnaires, functional assessments and electroencephalography markers to identify changes following the sensorimotor training that may be associated with benefits in pain symptoms. Before we embark on a larger study, we plan to investigate the feasibility of our study procedures in a feasibility study involving 40 patients.
