Exoskeleton Training for Spinal Cord Injury Neuropathic Pain (ExSCIP)

The goal of this feasibility trial is to learn if exoskeleton or robotic walking works to reduce nerve (neuropathic) pain after spinal cord injury. This study asks is: * Providing walking practice through use of a robotic device (exoskeleton) three times per week for twelve weeks possible to deliver? * Would people sign up and stick to the programme? * And will it help to reduce neuropathic pain levels after spinal injury? Researchers will compare robotic walking and a relaxation program to see if robotic walking works to reduce neuropathic pain levels after spinal injury. Participants will: * Complete a number of questionnaires and tests related to their pain before the trial. * Complete robotic walking or a relaxation program three times per week for twelve weeks. * Complete the same questionnaires and tests after the trial finishes and 6 months after. * Complete an interview telling researchers about their experiences of the trial.
