Can eye movement therapy help stroke patients with spatial neglect?
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a type of eye movement training (optokinetic stimulation) can improve attention to one side and balance in stroke survivors who have spatial neglect. It may help you become more aware of your surroundings and reduce your risk of falls.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had a stroke within the last few months (subacute stage).
- You are between 50 and 65 years old.
- You have spatial neglect (trouble noticing things on one side), confirmed by a simple test.
- You are medically stable and can follow simple instructions.
- You do not have severe memory or thinking problems, epilepsy, a pacemaker, or vision field loss.

This trial tests a computer-based training program designed to help people who have lost part of their vision after a stroke. The training aims to improve how your eyes move to compensate for the blind spots, which may help with daily activities.
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.
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 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 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 whether a type of brain stimulation called cTBS (applied to the cerebellum, a part of the brain involved in coordination) can help people recover from left-sided visual neglect—a condition where patients don't notice things on their left side after a right-hemisphere stroke. Researchers will use MRI imaging and brain monitoring to see if this treatment improves attention and awareness.
