Mixed-reality task to help diagnose and treat neglect
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests a new way to diagnose and help treat 'neglect'—a condition after brain injury where you might not notice things on one side. You'll wear a mixed-reality headset and do simple visual tasks to help train your attention.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older.
- You must have had a brain injury (such as a stroke, tumor, or trauma) that affects only one side of the brain.
- You must be able to use at least one hand to hold and press a controller.
- You must be able to understand and follow simple instructions.
- Your vision must be intact (no blindness or severe vision problems, though neglect—trouble noticing one side—is allowed).
- You must be able to give consent and follow the study rules.

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.
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 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 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 study tests whether using virtual reality exercises can help people with brain injuries who have trouble paying attention to their left side. You will wear a headset and practice moving your arm and hand in a virtual world, which may improve your daily function.
