Electrical brain stimulation for spatial neglect after stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests whether a mild electrical brain stimulation (tDCS) can help people who have spatial neglect after a stroke, making them more aware of the ignored side. It is for people who have had a first right-hemisphere stroke and meet specific health and language requirements.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your first stroke was on the right side of the brain
- You have been diagnosed with spatial neglect (difficulty noticing things on one side)
- You have a brain MRI or CT scan available
- You must be able to read and speak French well
- You must be right-handed
- You have no metal implants, pacemaker, or other devices that could interfere with the electrical stimulation
- You have no history of epilepsy or seizures
- You are not pregnant or at risk of pregnancy
- You can stay focused for at least 45 minutes at a time

This trial tests a type of magnetic brain stimulation to help people who have trouble noticing things on their left side after a stroke on the right side of their brain. It aims to improve attention and daily life after a stroke.
This study tests better ways to measure and treat a condition called neglect, where stroke survivors ignore one side of their world. It may help you regain more use of your arm if you have had a stroke at least 3 months ago and have some arm movement but still find it hard to pay attention to one side.
This study tests whether a mild electrical brain stimulation can help people with chronic stroke improve their stepping and walking. If you have had a stroke at least 6 months ago, can walk with or without a device, and have some leg weakness, this study may be for you.
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 noninvasive brain stimulation treatment can improve thinking and memory problems after an acute ischemic stroke. It also uses brain scans to better understand how the treatment may help.
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.
