Prism adaptation training after a recent stroke or brain surgery
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Had a first-time neurological event like a stroke or brain tumor surgery on one side of the brain
- Have a brain scan (MRI or CT) showing the affected area
- Have normal or corrected vision
- Have a condition called unilateral spatial neglect (ignoring one side of space)
- No history of previous brain problems or psychiatric illness
- Must be able to understand tasks and stay focused for at least 30 minutes

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 virtual reality training can help people who, after a stroke, have trouble noticing things on one side of their body or space (called unilateral neglect). You would use a VR headset to practice tasks that may retrain your brain's attention.
This study tests an attention-focused training approach to help people improve how the brain inhibits or filters information. It may be relevant after certain stroke-related attention problems, and also for people with ADHD, or for healthy volunteers for comparison.
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.
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 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.
