Can visual retraining after stroke improve sight?
Part of Brain & nervous system, Eyes & vision, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests whether special computer-based visual exercises can help people whose vision was damaged by a stroke. You would do the exercises at home for several months.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 21 and 80 years old and live in the US or Canada.

- You have a computer with internet at home and can use it to do vision exercises on your own.
- You are able to follow instructions in English and do not have a memory or thinking problem.
- You do not have other brain damage (like from a head injury), seizures, or substance abuse problems.

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 uses visual training exercises you can do at home on your computer to try to restore some vision lost after a stroke. It also involves a few days of testing and brain scans (MRI) at our lab to see how the training works.
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 study tests whether a noninvasive brain stimulation treatment (tRNS) plus visual training can improve visual field problems after a stroke. It may help some people regain better visual perception in the area they lost.
This study tests whether the brain can improve vision after damage caused by stroke, tumor, or injury. It may help people with vision loss from a brain lesion find new ways to see better.
This study tests whether special “multisensory” training can improve side vision loss (hemianopia) after a stroke. Participants attend testing and training sessions and are followed for about a year to see if vision and daily functioning change.
