- NCT06966544Recruiting
Imagery training for children with brachial plexus injury
This study tests whether graded motor imagery training — a type of mental practice involving imagining movements — can help children aged 7–18 with a brachial plexus injury that happened at birth. It could offer a new way to improve movement without needing hands-on therapy.
Izmir, MenemenAges 7–18 - NCT06056180Recruiting
Motor imagery training for balance in older adults
This study tests whether imagining moving your body (motor imagery training) can improve balance in older adults. It will compare this mental practice with usual activities to see if it helps prevent falls and improves stability.
Menteşe, MuğlaAges 60–80 - NCT07288060Enrolling by invitation
Hand therapy after wrist fracture surgery
This study tests two hand therapy methods to help improve wrist position sense after a broken wrist is fixed with metal plates and screws. It may help participants regain better control and function after surgery.
IstanbulAges 25–65 - NCT05800470Recruiting
Brain-training with light sensors to improve walking in Parkinson’s
This trial tests a “neurofeedback” training program using a special light-sensing cap (fNIRS) to help improve balance and walking in people with Parkinson’s disease. You may also do guided walking practice mentally (imagery training), and your ability to walk and balance will be measured.
Taipei, None SelectedAges 40–85 - NCT06594497Recruiting
Mental practice for athletes with ACL repair
This study tests if motor imagery training (mentally practicing movements) helps football players recover after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) repair surgery. It might improve muscle control and confidence without doing physical exercise.
KütahyaAges 18–30 - NCT06676332Recruiting
Training to improve movement and coordination in children with cerebral palsy
This trial tests whether a special training that combines mental imagery and sensory activities can improve muscle strength and coordination in children who have tight muscles in their legs. It is for children who can walk on their own or with some help.
CairoAges 8–12 - NCT06875895Recruiting
Motor imagery training for partial rotator cuff tears
This trial tests whether mental practice of shoulder movements can reduce pain and improve function in people with a partial rotator cuff tear. If you have shoulder pain that hasn't gone away after 4 weeks, this could be an option.
KütahyaAges 18–65 - NCT06945185Recruiting
Motor imagery training for arm strength after stroke
This trial tests if imagining arm movements (motor imagery training) can help improve arm strength in people who had a stroke at least 6 months ago. It is a non-drug, mental practice approach that may help your brain relearn movement.
IslamabadAges 45 years+ - NCT07094334Recruiting
Training on balance and fatigue using mental imagery
This trial tests if a single session of watching and imagining arm movements can improve balance and reduce fatigue in healthy young men.
AnkaraAges 18–25 - NCT07193355Recruiting
Motor imagery training for Parkinson's disease
This trial tests if thinking about movements (motor imagery) can help improve hand function in people with Parkinson's disease. It may offer a non-drug way to manage symptoms.
Kahramanmaraş, OnikişubatAges 40–75 - NCT07290660Recruiting
Motor imagery and exercise for shoulder pain
This study tests whether combining mental movement training with targeted exercises can reduce shoulder pain caused by impingement syndrome. It aims to improve your shoulder function without surgery.
IstanbulAges 25–65 - NCT07565363Recruiting
Motor Imagery Training for Stroke Arm Recovery
This study tests whether imagining arm movements (without actually moving) can help improve arm function in people recovering from stroke. Participants will practice visualizing movements to see if it helps restore strength and control in their affected arm.
IstanbulAges 18 years+ - NCT06588894Recruiting
Motor imagery and body awareness in type 2 diabetes
This study looks at how well people with type 2 diabetes can imagine movements, sense their body, and think clearly. It aims to understand how these abilities are affected by diabetes.
Kütahya, CentralAges 18–65 - NCT07629011Recruiting
Mental imagery and robotic hand training after stroke
This trial tests whether combining mental imagery practice with a robotic hand device can help improve hand function in people who had a stroke at least 6 months ago. The robotic hand reads signals from your arm muscles to help you practice controlled movements.
Rawalpindi, Punjab ProvinceAges 18–70 - NCT07612371Recruiting
Brain Training for Cerebral Palsy Motor Skills
This study tests whether imagining movements and watching others move can help children with cerebral palsy (a condition affecting one side of the body) improve their motor function and everyday abilities. Researchers want to see if these mental and visual techniques work better than standard care.
IstanbulAges 7–16 - NCT07106060Recruiting
Brain imaging of motor imagery effects in spinal cord injury
This study uses a special camera to see how imagining movement (motor imagery) affects brain activity in people with spinal cord injury. It aims to help understand how the brain recovers after injury.
Shenyang, LiaoningAges 18–75 - NCT07193303Recruiting
Mental imagery for arm and hand skills in Parkinson's
This study tests if mental imagery exercises can help improve upper body movement in people with Parkinson's disease. It may offer a safe, drug-free way to practice daily tasks.
Kahramanmaraş, OnikişubatAges 40–75 - NCT03827187Recruiting
Brain signal training to detect awareness
This study checks whether brain activity patterns can show when a person is aware, even if they can’t reliably communicate. If signs of awareness are found (or if you already know you are aware), the study may also train a brain-computer interface to support communication or movement assistance.
DublinAges 10–80 - NCT07326423Enrolling by invitation
Imagery therapy app for autism language skills
This trial tests a computer program that uses mental imagery exercises to help young children with autism improve their language and learning skills. It is designed for children ages 2 to 5.
Foz do Iguaçu, ParanáAges 2–5

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for motor imagery training?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 19 recruiting motor imagery training studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a motor imagery training trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a motor imagery training trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
