Brain study could pave way for better rehab after injury
NCT ID NCT05124301
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looked at how the sensory and motor areas of the brain work together to keep hand movements accurate. 76 healthy adults performed a reaching task while their brain activity was measured. The goal is to understand sensorimotor learning, which may one day improve rehabilitation for people with brain lesions.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this research could help develop better rehabilitation techniques for people with brain injuries.
- What could go wrong

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Ages of 18-45 years old * Right-handed. * Free of Covid symptoms in week preceding testing. Exclusion Criteria: * metallic, mechanical, or magnetic implants; * are claustrophobic, or are unable to remain still for long periods of time; * use an intra-uterine device (IUD) whos MR compatibility has not been established. * Women who are pregnant or think they might be pregnant will also be excluded, as effects of fMRI on the unborn are not known. * People who have a BMI over 30 will be excluded as it may be uncomfortable or impossible to lay in the MRI scanner and reach the button box. * Potential subjects will be excluded if they have any neurological disorders, or orthopedic or pain conditions in the upper limbs. * Investigators will also exclude subjects who do not have normal vision, or corrected-to-normal vision with contacts, or the imaging center does not have a pair of MRI compatible glasses that fits their prescription. * investigators will invite subjects to reschedule if they have any of the common Covid symptoms within the last week and if they haven't been fully vaccinated or obtained a negative Covid test within the past 4 days. If they don't believe they can meet these criteria on another date, they will be excluded. * After giving their consent, participants may be excluded during the study if they are unable to perform the tasks or follow instructions.
