Brain stimulation to improve parts of lost vision
Part of Brain & nervous system, Eyes & vision, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests whether a noninvasive brain stimulation treatment (tRNS) plus visual training can improve visual field problems after a stroke. It may help some people regain better visual perception in the area they lost.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You had your first stroke that affected your primary visual cortex and left you blind in part of your visual field (you did not have later strokes causing the visual damage).
- Your brain scan (MRI or CT) shows the stroke mainly affected the visual cortex, not that area completely missing.
- Your vision testing (visual perimetry) shows a clear visual perception deficit in part of your visual field.
- You must be able to precisely focus on targets and complete the required visual training exercises.
- You must be able to receive the brain stimulation treatment (tRNS) safely and have no disqualifying medical or mental health conditions.

This study tests whether the brain can improve vision after damage caused by stroke, tumor, or injury. It may help people with vision loss from a brain lesion find new ways to see better.
This trial tests whether combining brain stimulation with visual exercises can help improve vision loss caused by a recent brain injury. It is designed for people in the early recovery phase (within 3 months of injury) who have visual field deficits, but not other conditions like neglect or eye movement problems.
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.
This study tests whether a computer-based visual training program can help people who have lost vision after a stroke to their brain's visual center. You must have been in a prior study with the same team.
This trial tests whether special computer-based visual exercises can help people whose vision was damaged by a stroke. You would do the exercises at home for several months.
This study tests whether vision rehabilitation exercises done at home, guided by brain imaging, can help people regain vision after a stroke, brain injury, or tumor. Participants will use brain scans to personalize their therapy.
