VR treatment for stroke-related neglect
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study uses a virtual reality (VR) app to help people who have trouble paying attention to one side after a stroke. It aims to assess and treat that condition, called neglect.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have had a stroke that affected only one side of your brain.
- You do not have a serious mental health condition (like psychosis) or a disease that gets worse over time (like Alzheimer's).
- You do not have any implanted medical devices (like a pacemaker or cochlear implant) and have no history of seizures.
- After your stroke, you have trouble noticing things on one side (like ignoring one side of your body or space).
- You do not have vision loss in part of your field of view or damage to the back of your brain.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests whether virtual reality training can help people who, after a stroke, have trouble noticing things on one side of their body or space (called unilateral neglect). You would use a VR headset to practice tasks that may retrain your brain's attention.
This trial tests whether immersive virtual reality can help people with brain injury who have spatial neglect (trouble noticing things on one side). You would use VR goggles to do tasks aimed at improving attention and arm movement.
This study tests whether immersive virtual reality with added sensations (like sounds and touch) can help people who have trouble noticing their left side after a right-sided stroke. If you had a first right-sided stroke within the past 3 months and have left neglect, this might help you regain function.
This trial tests a special mixed-reality (computer-generated images overlaid on the real world) task to help diagnose and treat 'neglect' — a condition where people ignore one side of space after a brain injury. It may help you if you have had a stroke or other injury to one side of the brain.
This study tests a strategy-training program to help people who have had a stroke and struggle with spatial neglect (trouble paying attention to one side). The program is designed to improve attention and daily function. Participation involves coming to the University of Pittsburgh for training sessions.
This trial tests an augmented reality (AR) system to find and treat “neglect” after an acute stroke. If you qualify, it may help assess attention problems and guide rehabilitation exercises.
