Researchers from The University of Cincinnati analyzed data from ten different guided imagery studies to assess the trajectory of effect size with continued imagery practice, and the relationship between practice duration and strength of outcomes. .

Statistical findings of the ten different studies of various durations were converted to "d" statistics and plotted against the duration of study. The results showed an increase in the effect size of guided imagery over the first 5 to 7 weeks. However, it appeared that the effect was decreased at 18 weeks.
