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 trial tests a type of magnetic brain stimulation to help people who have trouble noticing things on their left side after a stroke on the right side of their brain. It aims to improve attention and daily life after a stroke.
This study tests whether a mild electrical brain stimulation (tDCS) can help people who have spatial neglect after a stroke, making them more aware of the ignored side. It is for people who have had a first right-hemisphere stroke and meet specific health and language requirements.
This study tests better ways to measure and treat a condition called neglect, where stroke survivors ignore one side of their world. It may help you regain more use of your arm if you have had a stroke at least 3 months ago and have some arm movement but still find it hard to pay attention to one side.
This study tests whether combining mirror therapy with mild electrical nerve stimulation can help improve arm and hand movement after a stroke. It may be an option if you can move your unaffected arm and have some shoulder and wrist movement on your affected side.
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.
