Virtual reality treatment for stroke-related neglect
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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 whether immersive virtual reality with added sensations (like sounds and touch) can help people who have trouble noticing their left side after a right-sided stroke. If you had a first right-sided stroke within the past 3 months and have left neglect, this might help you regain function.
This study uses a virtual reality (VR) app to help people who have trouble paying attention to one side after a stroke. It aims to assess and treat that condition, called neglect.
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.
This study tests a strategy-training program to help people who have had a stroke and struggle with spatial neglect (trouble paying attention to one side). The program is designed to improve attention and daily function. Participation involves coming to the University of Pittsburgh for training sessions.
This trial tests whether virtual reality (VR) games and tasks can help improve arm and hand movement after a stroke. It is for people who had a first stroke 1 to 6 months ago and have some arm weakness but can sit up for 30 minutes.
This trial tests an augmented reality (AR) system to find and treat “neglect” after an acute stroke. If you qualify, it may help assess attention problems and guide rehabilitation exercises.
