Virtual reality training for thinking problems after stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation, Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests whether using immersive virtual reality (a special headset that puts you in a computer-generated world) can help improve thinking and memory problems that can happen after a stroke.
