Hypnosis and attention for neurological conditions
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation, Immune system & allergy, Injuries & trauma, Mental health clinical trials.
This study looks at whether hypnosis can help improve attention in people with conditions like stroke, traumatic brain injury, or multiple sclerosis. It may help if you have trouble concentrating or focusing.

- You have been diagnosed with stroke, traumatic brain injury, or multiple sclerosis.
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You are a patient at the Neurology and Neurorehabilitation Clinic (inpatient or outpatient).
- You can understand German.
- You do not have a psychiatric illness.
- For the EEG part: no skin conditions on your scalp that interfere with electrodes, and no implanted devices like deep brain stimulators or cochlear implants.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 virtual reality (computer-generated) exercises can improve attention after a recent brain injury, most often stroke. You may be eligible if your brain injury happened within the last month and testing shows measurable attention difficulties.
This study tests if hypnosis can help adults with stroke or traumatic brain injury who have symptoms like anxiety, trouble sleeping, pain, or behavior issues. Researchers want to see if it's a feasible and useful addition to usual care.
This study tests a training program that helps people focus their attention after a stroke. It aims to see if this attention training can improve daily life and quality of life for stroke survivors.
This study tests whether combining physiotherapy (special exercises) with hypnosis (a focused relaxation technique) can help improve arm and hand function after a stroke. It is for people who had a stroke at least 3 months ago and still have some difficulty using one arm or hand.
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.
