Tests VR and brain stimulation for stroke neglect
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at ways to measure and improve “neglect,” when someone has trouble noticing one side after a stroke. It involves specific brain/hand stimulation testing and focuses on people a few months after stroke.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had an ischemic or bleeding stroke about 3 months ago
- Your upper-arm movement score is between 20 and 56 out of 60
- Brain stimulation test (TMS) shows a measurable response in a specific hand muscle on the affected side
- You have signs of one-sided neglect on a special virtual reality attention test
- You can travel to the study lab at the specified VA/medical center

This study tests whether a non-painful brain stimulation technique can help people who have “spatial neglect,” a common problem after stroke where part of space is ignored. It may improve attention and awareness during thinking and daily activities by targeting brain areas involved in attention.
This study tests a personalized, non-invasive brain stimulation treatment called transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) to help improve movement in people who have had a stroke that affects one side of the body. It aims to see if this gentle electrical stimulation can boost recovery of arm and hand function.
This study tests whether a type of brain stimulation called cTBS (applied to the cerebellum, a part of the brain involved in coordination) can help people recover from left-sided visual neglect—a condition where patients don't notice things on their left side after a right-hemisphere stroke. Researchers will use MRI imaging and brain monitoring to see if this treatment improves attention and awareness.
This trial tests a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called tDCS to help improve hand function after stroke. Researchers believe stimulating two areas of the brain may help weakened hands recover better movement and strength.
This trial tests different types of non-invasive brain stimulation to see which one helps people recover better from stroke-related problems like arm weakness, leg weakness, neglect, or speaking difficulty.
This study tests whether a gentle electrical current applied to the scalp (called tDCS) can help people recover arm movement after a recent stroke. It is for people who have severe weakness in one arm and are still within the first 8 weeks of recovery.
