Standardizing tests for spatial neglect
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial aims to standardize a test for spatial neglect, a condition where people ignore one side of space after a brain injury. Healthy volunteers will perform simple cancellation tests to help set normal reference values.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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.
This study examines how people with Alzheimer's disease navigate and find their way in familiar spaces. Researchers will compare patients with Alzheimer's, their caregivers, and healthy older adults to understand spatial orientation challenges and potentially improve care.
This study uses a robot to measure how well stroke survivors can pay attention to both sides of space. It may help if you have trouble noticing things on one side (called neglect).
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 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 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.
