*Survey About Pain* *After Spinal Cord Injury* Researchers at the Miami Project are conducting a web-based survey regarding day-to-day experiences of people living with spinal cord injury (SCI) and chronic pain. In most cases pain remains a major problem, despite our best treatments. The purpose of this study is to learn from the perspectives of people who are living with this pain. The information regarding the personal experiences of living with SCI and chronic pain is needed to improve the understanding and management of this difficult condition, and will benefit the general SCI community including Veterans, their families, and caregivers. *Everyone* *with* *persistent pain after a spinal cord injury has a unique experience. We would like to hear about yours!* Access the survey here: www.surveymonkey.com/s/SCIpain *Survey About Independence in Daily Living and Quality of Life A**fter Spinal Cord Injury* The enclosed link below contains a survey that seeks your opinion/perspectives on which functions you (would) value most highly to improve your own independence in daily living and quality of life. It does so by asking you to complete a series of scenarios and questionnaires, ranking the relative importance in restoring different sorts of function (arm movement/hand grasping, walking, bladder and bowel control, sexual function) and/or treating the very common problem of neuropathic (nerve-related) pain against each other. This research forms part of a PhD study in which we hope to be able to compare views of people with SCI in the United States with Australia, extending previous work done in US.
