Brain stimulation to improve awareness after right-side stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your first stroke affected the right side of your brain
- Testing shows you have spatial neglect (USN)
- You have brain scan images available (MRI or CT) of the stroke area
- You can safely take part in electrical brain stimulation (you have no metal/implant or other risk factors)
- You have good or corrected vision and can understand tasks during the study
- You are right-handed and can comfortably speak and understand French

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 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 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.
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 a form of brain stimulation (TMS) in people who had a stroke affecting the left side of the brain. It aims to understand whether stimulation can help with language processing tasks at least a month after stroke.
This trial tests whether combining two types of safe brain stimulation—tDCS and TMS—can help improve thinking abilities and movement control in people recovering from stroke. The study focuses on patients within 1–6 months of their first stroke.
