What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Summary

This study looks at whether a single session of watching movements (action observation) and imagining movements (motor imagery) can improve upper body balance, muscle oxygen levels, and fatigue in healthy young men aged 18-25. Forty-two participants will be divided into three groups: one watches movement videos, one combines watching with imagining, and a control group watches nature scenes. The goal is to see if these mental techniques have immediate physical effects, which could inform future rehabilitation strategies.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
action observation and motor imagery training
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that even a single session of mental training can improve physical performance and muscle function, potentially aiding rehabilitation programs.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study in healthy young adults, so results may not apply to patients with injuries or neurological conditions. The effects are measured immediately, so long-term benefits remain unknown.

Phase

Not a phased trial

Phase numbers describe drug development. The registry uses this when they do not apply, as it does for trials of devices, procedures or behaviour changes, and for observational studies.

Participants

About 42 people

The number the study aims to enrol. It can still change while the study runs.

Started

Expected to finish

Dec 2025

An estimate. End dates often move.

Lead sponsor

Other sponsor

The registry's catch-all category, for sponsors it does not file as a company, a government agency, or a research network.

Who can take part

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.

Ages

18 to 25 years

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * To be between 18 and 25 years of age * To have no history of any surgical procedure involving the upper extremity * To be male\*\* * Since the Upper Extremity Closed Kinetic Chain Stability Test is conducted in a different position for females, only male participants will be included in the study to maintain group homogeneity. Exclusion Criteria: * Scoring 24 or below on the Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE) * Having hearing, visual, or perceptual impairments that may affect the study outcomes * Presence of any upper extremity problem * Having neurological, metabolic, or systemic diseases
