Brain stimulation and mirror therapy for stroke-related neglect
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial tests whether combining transcranial magnetic stimulation (a non-invasive brain stimulation) with mirror therapy (using a mirror to trick the brain into thinking a paralyzed limb is moving) can help people who have trouble paying attention to one side of space after a stroke.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had a stroke (either from a clot or bleeding) that affected the right side of your brain.
- Your stroke happened more than 7 days ago but less than 1 year ago.
- You are between 18 and 75 years old.
- You have no major vision or hearing problems.
- You have no history of seizures, brain implants, or pacemaker.

This study tests whether a type of brain stimulation called cTBS (applied to the cerebellum, a part of the brain involved in coordination) can help people recover from left-sided visual neglect—a condition where patients don't notice things on their left side after a right-hemisphere stroke. Researchers will use MRI imaging and brain monitoring to see if this treatment improves attention and awareness.
This study tests whether a non-painful brain stimulation technique can help people who have “spatial neglect,” a common problem after stroke where part of space is ignored. It may improve attention and awareness during thinking and daily activities by targeting brain areas involved in attention.
This study looks at ways to measure and improve “neglect,” when someone has trouble noticing one side after a stroke. It involves specific brain/hand stimulation testing and focuses on people a few months after stroke.
This trial tests whether using a mirror together with mild electrical stimulation on the skin can improve lower-limb movement after stroke. You may be eligible if you can already lift your ankle a bit and walk independently, and if certain thinking, vision, and skin issues are not present.
This study tests if combining mirror therapy with either gentle electrical stimulation or special sound beats can help improve leg movement and brain activity after a stroke. It is designed for people who had their first stroke at least 6 months ago and have some movement in their leg.
This study tests whether mirror therapy—a simple exercise where you watch your unaffected hand move in a mirror to trick your brain—can help improve hand function after a recent stroke. It is for people who have had a stroke within the last month and have weakness on one side of their body.
