Mind over nerve? study tests imagery plus stretches for better mobility

NCT ID NCT07154017

What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting This study
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 Results may not be published yet.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

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This pilot study will test whether combining movement imagery techniques (like watching or imagining movements) with nerve stretching exercises can improve how the median nerve responds to pressure and stretch. Ten healthy volunteers will receive both the combined treatment and nerve exercises alone, with a 72-hour break in between. Researchers will measure pain thresholds, elbow range of motion, and sensory responses to see if the combination works better.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Movement representation techniques combined with neural mobilization exercises
What this could lead to
If successful, this could point toward a more effective physical therapy approach for nerve-related pain and stiffness.
What could go wrong
This is a very small pilot study in healthy people, not patients. Results may not apply to those with actual nerve conditions.

Study facts

What this study's own registry entry says, in plain language.

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 10 people

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

Expected to start

Sep 2025

An estimate. Start dates often move.

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 45 years

Sex

Anyone

Healthy volunteers

Accepted

You do not need to have the condition being studied to take part.

Show the full entry requirements

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

Inclusion Criteria: * asymptomatic volunteers of both sexes * aged 18 to 45 * with no symptoms or history of disease in the cervical region, shoulder girdle, or upper limb. Exclusion Criteria: * history of surgery or trauma to the cervical spine, shoulder girdle, or upper limb; * nonspecific shoulder pain; * presenting symptoms of chronic pain in any region of the body; * aphantasia (inability to create mental images); * hypermobility; * history of cancer or active disease; * current infection; * rheumatological disease; * neurological and/or psychiatric disorders; * altered sensation; * current pregnancy; * consumption of centrally acting medications; * undergoing physiotherapy treatment in the last month; * inability to understand the informed consent document; * previous experience with median nerve provocation testing.
