Virtual reality exercises for left-side neglect after brain injury
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests whether using virtual reality exercises can help people with brain injuries who have trouble paying attention to their left side. You will wear a headset and practice moving your arm and hand in a virtual world, which may improve your daily function.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 or older.
- You have had a stroke or traumatic brain injury, and it has been at least 7 days since the injury.
- You tend to miss things on your left side (like not noticing objects or people on your left).
- You have some movement in your affected arm and hand, but not full use.
- You are medically stable and can start a rehabilitation program.
- You are able to wear virtual reality goggles without getting headaches, dizziness, or seizures.

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 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 study uses virtual reality (VR) to help people who have had a stroke and have trouble paying attention to one side of space (called neglect). It aims to see if VR training can improve attention and daily living skills.
This study tests whether virtual reality (computer-generated) exercises can improve attention after a recent brain injury, most often stroke. You may be eligible if your brain injury happened within the last month and testing shows measurable attention difficulties.
This trial tests whether virtual reality (VR) games and tasks can help improve arm and hand movement after a stroke. It is for people who had a first stroke 1 to 6 months ago and have some arm weakness but can sit up for 30 minutes.
This trial tests whether using virtual reality can help improve arm and hand function after a stroke. It compares this modern rehabilitation approach to standard therapy for people who had a stroke 3 to 12 months ago.
