Mental imagery for arm and hand skills in Parkinson's
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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.
This study tests whether hand rehabilitation exercises can improve thinking and memory in people with Parkinson's disease. It may help if you have mild cognitive issues and are physically independent.
This trial studies whether practicing motor imagery (imagining movements without actually doing them) can help people with COPD improve their breathing and daily function. It may offer a new way to manage symptoms without physical exercise.
This study tests whether practicing mental imagery (imagining movements) along with self-regulation techniques can help people with Parkinson's disease improve their daily activities. It aims to see if this training makes everyday tasks easier.
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.
This trial tests whether imagining walking movements (called motor imagery) can help improve your walking. If you have Parkinson's disease and can walk short distances, this therapy might help you walk better.
