Rehabilitation methods for stroke-related neglect
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests different therapy methods to help people who have trouble paying attention to one side of the world after a stroke. It aims to find which approach works best for improving this 'neglect' and helping you get back to daily activities.
