Mixed-reality task for neglect diagnosis and treatment
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial tests a special mixed-reality (computer-generated images overlaid on the real world) task to help diagnose and treat 'neglect' — a condition where people ignore one side of space after a brain injury. It may help you if you have had a stroke or other injury to one side of the brain.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 or older
- You have a brain injury (like a stroke, tumor, or trauma) that affects only one side of the brain
- You can use at least one hand well enough to hold a controller
- You can understand simple instructions for using a device
- Your vision is mostly okay (not blind and not severely impaired)

This study uses a virtual reality (VR) app to help people who have trouble paying attention to one side after a stroke. It aims to assess and treat that condition, called neglect.
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 an interactive screen helps people with left-sided neglect after a stroke. It includes adults who had a right-sided stroke and have trouble paying attention to the left side of their world.
This trial tests whether virtual reality exercises can help people with right-brain stroke overcome 'neglect' (trouble noticing things on their left side). It aims to improve daily function and quality of life.
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 whether immersive virtual reality can help people with brain injury who have spatial neglect (trouble noticing things on one side). You would use VR goggles to do tasks aimed at improving attention and arm movement.
