Electrical stimulation for glaucoma
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This study tests if mild electrical stimulation of the optic nerve can help people with moderate to advanced glaucoma. It may be an option if your glaucoma has gotten worse despite standard treatments.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have a diagnosis of glaucoma.
- Your visual field test shows moderate to advanced vision loss (between -6 and -20 dB).
- You do not have an implanted electronic device (like a pacemaker).
- You do not have metal in your head (other than dental fillings).
- You do not have migraine, epilepsy, brain tumor, or untreated high blood pressure.

This trial tests whether gentle electrical stimulation can help improve vision in people with moderate vision loss from glaucoma. It might offer a new way to strengthen remaining vision.
This trial studies whether electrical stimulation can help improve vision in people with glaucoma-related optic nerve damage. You may qualify if your visual field test shows moderate to severe loss and your eye pressure is stable.
This trial tests if a gentle electrical stimulation on the eye can slow or improve vision loss in people with open-angle glaucoma. It uses a device you can use at home after training.
This study tests if a gentle electrical current applied to the scalp can improve vision in people with glaucoma. It uses a type of non-invasive brain stimulation called rtACS, which may help damaged optic nerves work better.
This study tests a non-invasive brain stimulation treatment to see if it can improve peripheral (side) vision in people with open-angle or normal-tension glaucoma. It targets people whose central vision is still relatively preserved but whose side vision has a measurable “gap” on vision testing.
This study tests a non-invasive brain stimulation technique to see if it can improve balance and thinking in older adults with glaucoma. It involves a series of sessions where a mild electrical current is applied to the brain.
