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
- Can understand and follow instructions in English

This study tests whether a computer-based visual training program can help people who have lost vision after a stroke to their brain's visual center. You must have been in a prior study with the same team.
This study tests a vision training program to help people who lost part of their eyesight after a stroke. The goal is to see if it can improve your ability to drive safely.
This study tests whether combining focused ultrasound stimulation with immersive virtual reality can help restore vision in people who have lost part of their visual field due to a stroke that occurred 6 to 24 months ago.
This study tests whether vision rehabilitation exercises done at home, guided by brain imaging, can help people regain vision after a stroke, brain injury, or tumor. Participants will use brain scans to personalize their therapy.
This trial tests whether immersive virtual reality (VR) visual stimulation training can improve your visual perception and driving performance after a stroke or traumatic brain injury (TBI). If you’re able to follow the VR and computer instructions, it may help you practice seeing and responding in a safer, controlled way.
This trial tests whether immersive virtual reality can help people with brain injury who have spatial neglect (trouble noticing things on one side). You would use VR goggles to do tasks aimed at improving attention and arm movement.
