Virtual reality training for stroke patients with neglect
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation, Mental health clinical trials.
This trial tests whether virtual reality exercises can help people with right-brain stroke overcome 'neglect' (trouble noticing things on their left side). It aims to improve daily function and quality of life.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had a stroke affecting the right side of your brain, confirmed by MRI or CT scan.
- It has been at least three months since your stroke.
- You have trouble noticing things on your left side (left neglect), shown by a score on the BIT test.
- You are 19 years old or older.
- You can sit in a chair with back and arm support, and can move your neck without pain or restrictions.
- You do not have vision or hearing problems that would prevent you from using virtual reality.
- You have not had severe motion sickness or dizziness from virtual reality before.

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 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 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.
This study tests a new way to diagnose and help treat 'neglect'—a condition after brain injury where you might not notice things on one side. You'll wear a mixed-reality headset and do simple visual tasks to help train your attention.
This study tests whether doing brain-training exercises in a virtual reality (VR) headset can help people who recently had a stroke improve their thinking and memory. You would do fun, game-like activities that may help your brain recover.
