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 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 uses virtual reality (VR) to help people who have had a stroke and have trouble paying attention to one side of space (called neglect). It aims to see if VR training can improve attention and daily living skills.
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 study tests a new way to diagnose and help treat 'neglect'—a condition after brain injury where you might not notice things on one side. You'll wear a mixed-reality headset and do simple visual tasks to help train your attention.
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.
