Motor imagery training for Parkinson's disease
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 40 and 75 years old
- You have been diagnosed with idiopathic Parkinson's disease (the most common type with no known cause)
- Your Parkinson's is at a stage where you can still walk and do daily activities (Hoehn & Yahr stage 4 or less)
- You are able to follow instructions (score at least 22 on a thinking test if you have formal education, or 18 if you don't)
- You do not have any other major nerve or whole-body disease, and your hand joints are not stiff or frozen
- You do not have any severe uncontrolled movements (dyskinesia), carpal tunnel, or arthritis in your hands

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 a program that combines cognitive (thinking) exercises with physical (movement) training for people with Parkinson's disease. The goal is to see if this combined approach is feasible and beneficial for improving both mental and motor 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 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 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.
