Prism training for stroke-related neglect
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study compares two types of therapy for people who have had a stroke and have difficulty paying attention to one side of their body or surroundings. It tests whether adding a mild electrical stimulation to prism training helps improve this condition more than prism training alone.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests if a simple eye-exercise technique (prism adaptation) can help people who, after a recent stroke or brain surgery, have trouble noticing one side of their world. If you qualify, you'll try this training to see if it improves your attention to the neglected side.
This study tests whether a type of brain stimulation combined with movement training can help people who have had a right-side stroke improve their arm and hand function. It also includes healthy adults to compare results.
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 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 trial tests if special glasses with Fresnel prisms can help improve balance, walking, and independence after a stroke. It is for people who had their first ischemic stroke 1 to 3 months ago and now have trouble noticing things on their left side.
This study looks at ways to measure and improve “neglect,” when someone has trouble noticing one side after a stroke. It involves specific brain/hand stimulation testing and focuses on people a few months after stroke.
