Attention Training for Stroke Survivors with Spatial Neglect
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have had a stroke that left you with spatial neglect (trouble noticing one side of space).
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You live within 30 miles of the University of Pittsburgh (not in a hospital or care facility).
- You do not have dementia, severe depression, or a severe language problem that prevents you from following instructions.
- You are willing to be videotaped during the study.
- You are not currently getting rehabilitation therapy as part of your usual care.

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 study uses a virtual reality (VR) app to help people who have trouble paying attention to one side after a stroke. It aims to assess and treat that condition, called neglect.
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 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 trial tests an augmented reality (AR) system to find and treat “neglect” after an acute stroke. If you qualify, it may help assess attention problems and guide rehabilitation exercises.
This trial tests a special mixed-reality (computer-generated images overlaid on the real world) task to help diagnose and treat 'neglect' — a condition where people ignore one side of space after a brain injury. It may help you if you have had a stroke or other injury to one side of the brain.
