Home computer therapy for brain neglect after stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests an at-home, phone/computer-based therapy to help people who have “neglect” after a stroke, using visual tasks to retrain attention. It may help improve how you notice and respond to the space on one side of your world.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- A clinician has confirmed you had a stroke affecting the right side of your brain
- You have symptoms of “neglect,” where you may ignore or miss things on one side
- You can understand the study and give consent (or have it arranged properly)
- Your medical condition is stable enough to safely take part
- Your eyesight is normal or can be made normal with glasses or contacts
- You can point to targets shown on a computer screen
- You live within 2 hours of Halifax

This trial tests a home-based treatment that uses eye movements to help people with spatial neglect, a condition where they ignore one side of space after a stroke. It aims to improve attention and daily function.
This study tests whether two simple computer-based tasks can detect a common problem after stroke called visuospatial neglect, where the brain ignores one side of space. You will be asked to cross out stars and mark the middle of a line on a tablet, and your results will be compared with the standard paper test.
This study tests whether a type of brain stimulation combined with movement training can help people who have had a right-side stroke improve their arm and hand function. It also includes healthy adults to compare results.
This study compares two types of therapy for people who have had a stroke and have difficulty paying attention to one side of their body or surroundings. It tests whether adding a mild electrical stimulation to prism training helps improve this condition more than prism training alone.
This trial studies whether prism lenses and a mild brain-stimulation treatment can help people who have stroke-related “neglect,” where they don’t notice one side of the body or space. If you qualify, the goal is to see if these treatments improve attention and daily functioning after a recent ischemic stroke.
This study tests whether prism adaptation therapy (wearing special glasses that shift how you see) can help improve attention and function after a right-brain stroke. You may be eligible if you recently had a first right-brain stroke and can sit up to take part in the therapy.
