Visual training for stroke-related vision loss
Part of Brain & nervous system, Eyes & vision, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You took part in an earlier study by Dr. Huxlin's team.
- You have vision loss in the same part of both eyes after a stroke.
- You can see well enough – at least 20/40 in each eye with glasses or contacts.
- You are between 21 and 75 years old and live in the US or Canada.
- You can understand and follow instructions in English.
- You do not have other brain damage, drug or alcohol problems, or conditions that would interfere with the training.

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 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.
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.
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.
