Relatively new evidence suggests that movement representation techniques, i.e. therapies that use the observation and/or imagination of normal pain-free movements, such as Mirror Therapy, Motor Imagery or Movement/ Action Observation may be effective in reducing some types of limb pain. To summarize the evidence regarding the efficacy of those techniques, a systematic review with metaanalysis was performed. We searched CENTRAL, MEDLINE, EMBASE, CINAHL, AMED, PsychINFO, PEDro and OT-seeker up to August 2014 and handsearched further relevant resources for randomised controlled trials that studied the efficacy of movement representation techniques in reducing limb pain.
