Body awareness therapy: a quick fix for feeling more in tune with yourself?
NCT ID NCT07253545
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study will test whether one session of Basic Body Awareness Therapy (BBAT) can change how people perceive their own body. Sixty physiotherapy students will be randomly assigned to either a BBAT session or a lecture. Researchers will measure body awareness using body charts and questionnaires before and after the session to see if BBAT makes a difference.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Basic Body Awareness Therapy (BBAT)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could show that a single BBAT session can improve body awareness, which may help design better therapies for conditions like chronic pain or mental health.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage study in healthy students, not patients. Results may not apply to other groups, and the effect may be small or short-lived.
