🧠 Motor imagery and pain
Graded motor imagery is effective for long-standing complex regional pain syndrome: a randomized controlled trial
Voir l’articlePain, 2004
Conclusion: The results uphold the hypothesis that a MIP initially not involving limb movement is effective for CRPS1 and support the involvement of cortical abnormalities in the development of this disorder. Although the mechanisms of effect of the MIP are not clear, possible explanations are sequential activation of cortical pre-motor and motor networks, or sustained and focused attention on the affected limb, or both.
Graded motor imagery for pathologic pain: a randomized controlled trial
Voir l’articleNeurology, 2006
Conclusion: Motor imagery reduced pain and disability in these patients with complex regional pain syndrome type I or phantom limb pain,
The Effects of Graded Motor Imagery and Its Components on Chronic Pain: Systematic Review

Conclusion: Our results suggest that GMI and mirror therapy alone may be effective…
Effectiveness of motor imagery in complex regional pain syndrome: Systematic review
Voir l’article2024
Conclusions: Moderate-quality evidence suggests a positive effect of MI for improving pain intensity and disability immediately after and at short-term in individuals with CRPS.
Breaking the Cycle of Pain: The Role of Graded Motor Imagery and Mirror Therapy in CRPS
Voir l’article2024
Conclusions: Graded Motor Imagery (GMI) and Mirror Therapy (MT) have proven to be effective interventions for managing Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS), with significant improvements in pain reduction and functional recovery. These non-invasive treatments hold potential for integration into standard rehabilitation protocols.
Graded motor imagery as an adjunct to comprehensive physiotherapy in chronic rotator cuff-related pain: a single blind randomized controlled trial
Voir l’article2025
Conclusion: This study highlights that both groups showed significant improvements in pain, range of motion, functionality, and pain-related fear. However, adding GMI therapy led to faster pain relief, better mechanical sensitivity, improved motor imagery skills, and greater treatment satisfaction, warranting further research with larger samples and extended follow-ups to confirm its broader applicability.
The Effectiveness of Graded Motor Imagery Training on Pain …
Voir l’articleBonab et al., 2025
Conclusion: The integration of GMI training into conventional physiotherapy for SAPS rehabilitation provides more effective clinical results in improving pain intensity and increasing functionality.
The Effect of Graded Motor Imagery on Pain and Function in Knee Osteoarthritis vs TENS
Voir l’article2025
Conclusion: Graded motor imagery seems to be a more effective adjuvant than transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation. If applied in patients with knee osteoarthritis, pain and functional recovery improved, and results were maintained for up to 6 weeks.
Graded motor imagery modifies movement pain, cortical excitability and sensorimotor function in complex regional pain syndrome
Voir l’articleStrauss et al., 2021
Conclusion: Overall, we demonstrated characteristic changes in clinical, behaviour and neuropathology parameters applying GMI in patients with upper limb CRPS.

Voir l’articleFront Hum Neurosci. 2013;7:807. doi:10.3389/fnhum.2013.00807
Conclusion : We believe that an integrative account of AO and MI is theoretically attractive, that it should generate novel experimental approaches, and that it can also stimulate a wide range of applications in sport, occupational therapy, and neurorehabilitation.
🧘 Mindfulness meditation and pain
Mindfulness Meditation for Chronic Pain: Systematic Review and Meta-analysis of RCTs
Voir l’articleAnnals of Behavioral Medicine / RAND report
Conclusions: While mindfulness meditation improves pain and depression symptoms and quality of life, additional well-designed, rigorous, and large-scale RCTs are needed to decisively provide estimates of the efficacy of mindfulness meditation for chronic pain.
Effects of Mindfulness Meditation on Chronic Pain: Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial
Voir l’articlePain Medicine, 2015
Conclusion: A standardized mindfulness program (MBSR) contributes positively to pain management and can exert clinically relevant effects on several important dimensions in patients with long-lasting chronic pain.
The neural mechanisms of mindfulness-based pain relief: Review
Voir l’articlePAIN Reports, 2019
Abstract: A promising self-regulatory practice, mindfulness meditation, reliably alleviates experimentally induced and clinical pain.
Effectiveness of MBSR for chronic low back pain: Systematic review
Voir l’article2022
Conclusion: MBSR therapy improves physical function at 8 weeks and 6 months follow-up in CLBP individuals. Further high-quality RCTs are warranted for the long-term effect of MBSR therapy on physical function outcomes.
Enhancing Chronic Non-Cancer Pain Management: Review of Mindfulness and Graded Imagery trials
Voir l’article2024
Conclusions: This study supports the evidence of benefits of both mindfulness techniques and GI interventions in the management of chronic non-cancer pain.
💪 Neuromuscular activation deficit
Zunzarren G., Garet B., Vinciguerra B., et al. Persistence of neuromuscular activation deficit in the lower limb at 3-years of follow-up after ACL reconstruction surgery
Voir l’articleKnee. 2023;43:97–105. doi:10.1016/j.knee.2023.06.006
Conclusions: We found that the neuromuscular activation deficit was high (roughly 42%) at more than 3-years of follow-up after ACL reconstruction. The deficit is not limited to the quadriceps and affects the whole limb. Our findings highlight the need for appropriate rehabilitation after ACL surgery, targeting the corticospinal level in particular.
