The hanger reflex is a human reflex. When the head is circled with a tight-fitting and stretched clothes hanger, the hanger compresses the frontotemporal region and the head involuntarily rotates toward the direction of the hook. It is not clear what causes this action. The phenomenon gained attention on social media in 2020 and again in 2022, becoming known as The Hanger Challenge, with people posting videos of the reflex in action.

| - El reflex del penja-robes o del penjador és un reflex humà mencionant per primera vegada per J.E. Christensen, de l'Institut de Salut Internacional, Immunologia i Microbiologia (Universitat de Copenhaguen, Dinamarca), l'agost de 1991, a l'article científic "Nou tractament de la torticolis espasmòdica", a la revista mèdica The Lancet, en relació amb el tractament de la torticoli espasmòdica. El reflex es produeix quan es rodeja el cap d'una persona amb un penjador de filferroː el penjador comprimeix la regió frontotemporal i el cap gira involuntàriament. La causa d'aquest efecte no és clara encara. El fenomen va cridar l'atenció a les xarxes socials a mitjans de setembre de 2020, sent conegut com el "Hanger Challenge" ("repte del penja-robes"), amb vídeos publicats mostrant gent experimentant el reflex.
