Electrical stimulation for optic nerve damage from glaucoma
Part of Brain & nervous system, Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This trial studies whether electrical stimulation can help improve vision in people with glaucoma-related optic nerve damage. You may qualify if your visual field test shows moderate to severe loss and your eye pressure is stable.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be at least 18 years old
- Be able to follow the study plan, attend visits, and complete all scheduled testing
- Have glaucoma with specific visual field results (mean deviation worse than -3 on a 24-2 test)
- Have stable eye pressure, as judged by the study doctor
- You (or your legally authorized person) must understand the consent form and sign it

This trial tests whether gentle electrical stimulation can help improve vision in people with moderate vision loss from glaucoma. It might offer a new way to strengthen remaining vision.
This study tests if mild electrical stimulation of the optic nerve can help people with moderate to advanced glaucoma. It may be an option if your glaucoma has gotten worse despite standard treatments.
This study tests if breathing pure oxygen in a pressurized chamber (hyperbaric oxygen therapy) can help people with optic neuropathy, a condition that damages the nerve connecting the eye to the brain.
This study tests if a gentle electrical current applied to the scalp can improve vision in people with glaucoma. It uses a type of non-invasive brain stimulation called rtACS, which may help damaged optic nerves work better.
This trial tests if a gentle electrical stimulation on the eye can slow or improve vision loss in people with open-angle glaucoma. It uses a device you can use at home after training.
This study tests a new approach using non-invasive brain and visual stimulation to improve vision in people with glaucoma. If you have mild to moderate glaucoma and stable vision, this trial may help see if your eyesight can get better.
