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.

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 if a simple eye-exercise technique (prism adaptation) can help people who, after a recent stroke or brain surgery, have trouble noticing one side of their world. If you qualify, you'll try this training to see if it improves your attention to the neglected side.
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 trial tests if special glasses with Fresnel prisms can help improve balance, walking, and independence after a stroke. It is for people who had their first ischemic stroke 1 to 3 months ago and now have trouble noticing things on their left side.
