Augmented reality communication trial for people with ALS, stroke, TBI, or SCI
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation, Hormones & metabolism, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests an augmented reality headset (Apple Vision Pro) that helps people with conditions like ALS, stroke, brain injury, or spinal cord injury communicate more easily. It might help you if you need a new assistive device for communication.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older.
- You must have ALS, a spinal cord injury, or a chronic brain injury (like from a stroke or traumatic brain injury) and need help communicating.
- You must be able to open your eyes and keep them open on purpose for at least 30 minutes.
- You must have a way to say 'yes' and 'no' (for example, by blinking, nodding, or making sounds) that does not use the study device.
- You need to have a support person (like a family member or caregiver) who can come with you and learn the system.
- You must understand English well enough to follow instructions.
- You must not have certain vision, hearing, or balance problems (like severe vision loss, double vision, or dizziness), a history of seizures, sensitivity to flashing lights, claustrophobia with the headset, or sensitive skin on your scalp.

This study tests a brain-computer interface (BCI) that uses augmented reality glasses to help people with late-stage ALS communicate. You wear a headset that reads your brain signals and lets you select words or phrases on a screen, giving you a new way to talk to others.
This study tests an augmented reality (AR) program to help with arm and hand movement after a brain injury. It may offer a new way to practice daily tasks and improve recovery.
This study tests how well people with ALS, spinal cord injury, or healthy volunteers can use a brain-computer interface (BCI). The goal is to learn how to measure what the device can do, which may help people with severe communication or movement limitations.
This trial tests an augmented reality (AR) system to find and treat “neglect” after an acute stroke. If you qualify, it may help assess attention problems and guide rehabilitation exercises.
This trial tests a brain-computer interface (BCI) that is implanted by a robot. It is designed to help people who have lost the ability to speak clearly or use their hands well, due to conditions like ALS, stroke, or spinal cord injury.
This study tests a new treatment that uses focused ultrasound and virtual reality to help restore vision in people who have lost sight in part of their visual field after a stroke. It may help improve daily vision and quality of life.
