Mind over matter: mental exercises may boost Well-Being in High-Risk pregnancies
NCT ID NCT07423793
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Sep 03, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tests whether an 8-week program of motor imagery exercises (mentally rehearsing movements without physically doing them) can improve well-being in 38 high-risk pregnant women prescribed bed rest. The exercises are delivered via tele-rehabilitation. The goal is to see if this safe, non-physical approach can reduce the negative effects of inactivity and improve maternal well-being.
