Moving visual patterns for stroke recovery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests whether watching moving patterns (optokinetic stimulation) can help improve attention to the neglected side and balance in people recovering from a stroke. It may help reduce the risk of falls and improve daily functioning.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between 50 and 65 years old.
- You must have had a stroke and be in the subacute stage (usually within weeks to a few months after the stroke).
- You must have spatial neglect (ignoring one side of your space) as confirmed by a screening test.
- You must be medically stable and able to follow instructions.
- You cannot have other neurological disabilities, epilepsy, a cardiac pacemaker, severe cognitive problems, or visual field deficits.

This study tests whether a special moving visual pattern, shown without any reading task, can improve reading difficulties caused by a stroke-related visual field loss (hemianopia). It may help people who have trouble reading because they miss words on one side.
This trial tests whether a special virtual-reality system that combines head movements and balance exercises can help improve walking and stability for people who have had a stroke. It is designed for those who are at least 6 months past their stroke and can walk with some help.
This study tests whether a type of brain stimulation combined with movement training can help people who have had a right-side stroke improve their arm and hand function. It also includes healthy adults to compare results.
This study tracks eye movements to understand how stroke affects your brain. It then uses a personalized program (closed-loop) to help improve your recovery. You must have had your first stroke and still have related symptoms.
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 trial tests a computer-based training program designed to help people who have lost part of their vision due to a stroke. The training may help you use your remaining vision more effectively, which could improve daily activities and confidence.
