Brain stimulation for vision loss after recent brain injury
Part of Brain & nervous system, Eyes & vision, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests whether combining brain stimulation with visual exercises can help improve vision loss caused by a recent brain injury. It is designed for people in the early recovery phase (within 3 months of injury) who have visual field deficits, but not other conditions like neglect or eye movement problems.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had a brain injury within the last 3 months
- You have partial or complete vision loss in part of your visual field (confirmed by an eye specialist)
- You do not have hemispatial neglect (trouble paying attention to one side)
- You do not have problems with eye movements that prevent coordinated gaze
- You do not have epilepsy, a family history of epilepsy, or implanted medical devices (like a pacemaker), and you are not pregnant

This study tests whether a noninvasive brain stimulation treatment (tRNS) plus visual training can improve visual field problems after a stroke. It may help some people regain better visual perception in the area they lost.
This study tests whether the brain can improve vision after damage caused by stroke, tumor, or injury. It may help people with vision loss from a brain lesion find new ways to see better.
This study tests whether vision rehabilitation exercises done at home, guided by brain imaging, can help people regain vision after a stroke, brain injury, or tumor. Participants will use brain scans to personalize their therapy.
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 a new treatment that uses focused ultrasound and virtual reality to help restore vision in people who have lost sight in part of their visual field after a stroke. It may help improve daily vision and quality of life.
This trial tests whether neurofeedback training can help restore vision in people who have lost part of their visual field due to a stroke. It aims to improve daily function and quality of life.
