Virtual reality navigation study for stroke survivors
Part of Brain & nervous system, Eyes & vision, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study uses virtual reality to understand how vision loss from a stroke affects navigation. You may help researchers learn more by wearing a VR headset and doing simple tasks.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Had a stroke that damaged the vision part of your brain (visual cortex)
- Have vision loss in the same side of both eyes (homonymous hemianopia)
- Live in the United States or Canada
- Ages 21 to 75
- Willing to wear contact lenses in a VR headset if you need them for clear vision
