Robot-based 3D assessment of spatial neglect after stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests a robotic arm to see how well it can measure spatial neglect in stroke survivors. Spatial neglect is a condition where you might not notice things on one side of your body or space, and this robot could help doctors measure it more precisely.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be over 18 years old.
- You must have had a stroke (either from a blocked blood vessel or bleeding in the brain).
- You must have been diagnosed with spatial neglect — that means you tend to ignore one side of your body or space.
- You need to be able to complete a language test (no major language problems).
- You should not have serious vision or hearing problems, and no other major medical or mental conditions that could affect the study.

This study tests a robotic rehabilitation program for people who have had a stroke on the right side of the brain, causing neglect (ignoring the left side) and weakness on the left side. The goal is to see if robotic therapy can help improve attention and arm movement.
This study tests different therapy methods to help people who have trouble paying attention to one side of the world after a stroke. It aims to find which approach works best for improving this 'neglect' and helping you get back to daily activities.
This study tests whether two simple computer-based tasks can detect a common problem after stroke called visuospatial neglect, where the brain ignores one side of space. You will be asked to cross out stars and mark the middle of a line on a tablet, and your results will be compared with the standard paper test.
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 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 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.
