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.

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 whether special prism glasses can help people who had a recent stroke improve their balance, walking, and daily independence. You may benefit if you have trouble paying attention to one side of your body.
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 study tests better ways to measure and treat a condition called neglect, where stroke survivors ignore one side of their world. It may help you regain more use of your arm if you have had a stroke at least 3 months ago and have some arm movement but still find it hard to pay attention to one side.
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.
