Studying 'blindsight' after stroke-related vision loss
Part of Brain & nervous system, Eyes & vision, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at how the brain might still 'see' things even when part of your visual field is lost after a stroke. It may help doctors understand and predict your remaining visual abilities.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are 18 years or older.
- You have lost vision in part of your visual field (hemianopsia) because of a stroke in the back part of your brain.

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 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 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 trial tests a special rehabilitation program that uses multiple senses (like sound and touch) to help people regain vision lost due to brain damage. It may help you see better by training your brain to use other senses.
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.
