Spinal cord injuries (SCI) often result in somatosensory system alterations and the development of chronic and neuropathic pain. Despite the availability of various treatments, pain remains refractory in many patients. In our study, we explore the potential benefits of powered exoskeleton training for individuals with SCI, focusing on its impact on tactile perception and neuropathic pain.Nineteen participants with traumatic SCI were recruited for our investigation. The lesion was below the T4 level for all participants. We evaluated changes using a computerized pressure algometer, the Numerica
