Prism glasses and brain stimulation after stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are over 18 years old
- You had an ischemic stroke (not a bleeding stroke)
- Your hospital stay started within 90 days of the stroke
- Your stroke was not hemorrhagic (no brain bleeding)
- You do not have a known past neurological condition
- You do not have a past psychiatric condition and you do not use alcohol or drugs

This trial tests whether wearing special prismatic glasses during cognitive exercises can help people recovering from a traumatic brain injury. It is designed for patients who are still in the early stages of recovery and have a certain level of consciousness and attention.
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.
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 study tests whether special prism glasses can help people who had a recent stroke improve their balance, walking, and daily independence. You may benefit if you have trouble paying attention to one side of your body.
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.
This study tests a new vision-related “prismatic adaptation” task to see if it could help people with daily independence after a brain injury. Because you’d be asked to do technical testing, the main goal is to understand how the test works in healthy people.
