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 looks at how people with Alzheimer's disease understand directions and find their way around. By comparing patients, healthy older adults, and caregivers, researchers hope to learn more about spatial orientation problems in Alzheimer’s and find better ways to support patients.
This study tests whether two simple computer-based tasks can detect a common problem after stroke called visuospatial neglect, where the brain ignores one side of space. You will be asked to cross out stars and mark the middle of a line on a tablet, and your results will be compared with the standard paper test.
This study tests a robotic arm to see how well it can measure spatial neglect in stroke survivors. Spatial neglect is a condition where you might not notice things on one side of your body or space, and this robot could help doctors measure it more precisely.
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.
This study tests different therapy methods to help people who have trouble paying attention to one side of the world after a stroke. It aims to find which approach works best for improving this 'neglect' and helping you get back to daily activities.
