Restructuring brain signals for aging vision
Part of Brain & nervous system, Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This study tests a new way to help older adults improve their vision by retraining how the brain processes visual information. It may help with age-related vision changes.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older.
- You must have normal vision (or vision corrected to normal with glasses/contacts) and normal color and depth perception.
- You cannot have any eye diseases like glaucoma, cataracts, or macular degeneration.
- You cannot have metal implants in your head or any implanted electronic devices.
- You cannot have a history of neurological problems, head injury, dementia, depression, or psychosis.
- You cannot be taking any psychoactive medications.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 a non-invasive brain stimulation technique to see if it can improve balance and thinking in older adults with glaucoma. It involves a series of sessions where a mild electrical current is applied to the brain.
This study tests if a gentle electrical current applied to the scalp can improve vision in people with glaucoma. It uses a type of non-invasive brain stimulation called rtACS, which may help damaged optic nerves work better.
This study tests whether a safe, noninvasive brain stimulation technique (called tDCS) can help people with vision loss from retinitis pigmentosa, rod-cone dystrophy, or advanced glaucoma move around more easily and safely. Participants will do walking and orientation tasks while receiving the stimulation.
This study tests whether high-frequency electrical stimulation of the brain can help improve thinking, movement, and mood in older adults who may or may not have early signs of memory decline. Participants will get sessions of stimulation and complete thinking and walking tasks.
This study tests whether transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), a non-invasive brain stimulation method, can help restore vision in people with severe high myopia. It is a research treatment that may improve vision by stimulating the brain's visual areas.
