Visual Training After Stroke: Restoring Sight
Part of Brain & nervous system, Eyes & vision, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study uses visual training exercises you can do at home on your computer to try to restore some vision lost after a stroke. It also involves a few days of testing and brain scans (MRI) at our lab to see how the training works.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had a stroke that damaged the part of your brain responsible for vision, causing you to lose some sight in both eyes, mostly on one side.
- You are between 21 and 80 years old and live in the United States or Canada.
- You can focus your eyes on a small target steadily for about one second.
- You have your own computer (desktop or laptop) and reliable internet for doing visual training at home.
- You are able and willing to travel to our lab for a few days of testing and training, and to undergo MRI scans.
- You do not have other eye diseases, serious memory or seizure problems, or metal implants that make MRI unsafe.

This study tests whether a computer-based visual training program can help people who have lost vision after a stroke to their brain's visual center. You must have been in a prior study with the same team.
This trial tests whether special computer-based visual exercises can help people whose vision was damaged by a stroke. You would do the exercises at home for several months.
This study tests whether vision rehabilitation exercises done at home, guided by brain imaging, can help people regain vision after a stroke, brain injury, or tumor. Participants will use brain scans to personalize their therapy.
This study tests whether a noninvasive brain stimulation treatment (tRNS) plus visual training can improve visual field problems after a stroke. It may help some people regain better visual perception in the area they lost.
This study tests whether the brain can improve vision after damage caused by stroke, tumor, or injury. It may help people with vision loss from a brain lesion find new ways to see better.
This trial tests special eye exams and exercises to help stroke survivors with vision problems like blind spots. The goal is to see if vision can be improved and daily activities made easier.
