Attention training after stroke or for ADHD
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests an attention-focused training approach to help people improve how the brain inhibits or filters information. It may be relevant after certain stroke-related attention problems, and also for people with ADHD, or for healthy volunteers for comparison.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be between 18 and 75 years old (except some children with ADHD, ages 8–18)
- Have normal vision or vision that can be corrected with glasses/contacts
- Be able to follow study instructions and complete tasks (no major movement, sensory, brain, or mental health barriers)
- Not be under legal protection (you must be able to consent and participate)
- Have signed consent (and if you’re a minor with ADHD, a parent/guardian must consent)

This study tests if a simple eye-exercise technique (prism adaptation) can help people who, after a recent stroke or brain surgery, have trouble noticing one side of their world. If you qualify, you'll try this training to see if it improves your attention to the neglected side.
This study tests whether virtual reality (computer-generated) exercises can improve attention after a recent brain injury, most often stroke. You may be eligible if your brain injury happened within the last month and testing shows measurable attention difficulties.
This study looks at how people with an injury to the back part of the brain (posterior parietal cortex) process what they see and guide their movements. It may help researchers better understand the symptoms and improve future therapies.
This study tests a strategy-training program to help people who have had a stroke and struggle with spatial neglect (trouble paying attention to one side). The program is designed to improve attention and daily function. Participation involves coming to the University of Pittsburgh for training sessions.
This study tests a training program that helps people focus their attention after a stroke. It aims to see if this attention training can improve daily life and quality of life for stroke survivors.
This study uses visual training exercises you can do at home on your computer to try to restore some vision lost after a stroke. It also involves a few days of testing and brain scans (MRI) at our lab to see how the training works.
