An interventional study of Graded Motor Imagery and Mirror Therapy in Stroke, sponsored by Elite College of Management Sciences, Gujranwala, Pakistan. Completed at 1 site in Pakistan. Open to participants aged 45 Years to 65 Years, including healthy volunteers. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2026-05-11.

The study is conducted to assess whether the GMI or MT reduce the level of spasticity. Also to compare the level of independence in GMI and MT in the chronic stroke patients.
A stroke is a medical condition that occurs when inadequate blood flow to a part of the brain leads to cell death. There are two primary types of strokes: ischemic, caused by reduced blood flow, and hemorrhagic, caused by bleeding. Both types result in impaired brain function in the affected areas.
A systemic review was conducted on the effectiveness of mirror therapy on lower extremities, stal and walk in early stage and long term stroke. Results shown better results with using mirror the than control group.
Non-randomized controlled trial study was conducted on stroke patients treated by graded n imagery. It consisted of 28 subjects and the experimental group included 14 and other 14 included in the control group. Graded motor imagery showed better results than the convent therapy as 10 patients showed better outcomes in the intervention group and only 4 patients sho improvement in the control group.
8,255 studies on the registry are indexed under Stroke; 2,056 are open to participants now.

Exclusion Criteria
GMI uses visual cues and mental exercises to retain the brain in steps.
Other: Graded Motor Imagery
Mirror Therapy uses a mirror to make the brain think the weak side is moving
Other: Mirror Therapy
Graded Motor Imagery typically 1 to 3 times per day for 5 to 10 minutes for each phase. No physical movement at first only cognitive task, mental rehearsal and visual motor.
Mirror Therapy typically involves 1 to 3 sessions per day for 10 to 15 minutes gradually increases as tolerated.Visual and motor training using a mirror placed at the midline.
Modified Ashworth Scale
Changes from baseline Modified Ashworth SCale is a clinical tool used to measure the spasticity.It comprises 4 grades.0 No increase in muscle tone, 1 Slight increase in muscle tone, manifested by a catch and release or by minimal resistance at the end of the range of motion (ROM), 1+ Slight increase in muscle tone, manifested by a catch, followed by minimal resistance throughout the remainder (less than half) of the ROM, 2 More marked increase in muscle tone through most of the ROM, but affected parts) easily moved, 3 Considerable increase in muscle tone, passive movement difficult, 4 Affected parts rigid in flexion or extension.
