Brain stimulation for vision in high myopia
Part of Brain & nervous system, Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This study tests whether transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), a non-invasive brain stimulation method, can help restore vision in people with severe high myopia. It is a research treatment that may improve vision by stimulating the brain's visual areas.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between 45 and 70 years old.
- You must have severe high myopia that has caused damage to the back of the eye (called myopic macular degeneration).
- You must not have had TMS (a brain stimulation treatment) before, and you must not have any reason that TMS would be unsafe for you.
- You must not have other serious eye diseases, like cataracts, glaucoma, or a detached retina.
- You must not have had eye surgery or eye injections in the last 3 months.
- You must not have epilepsy, metal implants in your head, or severe heart, liver, or kidney problems.

This study tests a non-invasive brain stimulation treatment to see if it can improve peripheral (side) vision in people with open-angle or normal-tension glaucoma. It targets people whose central vision is still relatively preserved but whose side vision has a measurable “gap” on vision testing.
This trial tests a combination of non-invasive brain stimulation and visual training to see if it can improve vision in people with glaucoma. It may help if you have stable vision loss from glaucoma and want to try a new approach.
This trial tests whether combining a short vision learning program with non-invasive electrical stimulation to the brain can improve vision in people with open-angle or normal-tension glaucoma. It may help by training the visual system while stimulating brain pathways to support vision.
This study tests a non-invasive brain stimulation technique to see if it can improve balance and thinking in older adults with glaucoma. It involves a series of sessions where a mild electrical current is applied to the brain.
This trial tests a gentle, noninvasive brain stimulation technique (called TMS) to see if it can improve vision in adults with lazy eye. It is a noninvasive approach that does not involve surgery or drugs.
This study tests whether a safe, noninvasive brain stimulation technique (called tDCS) can help people with vision loss from retinitis pigmentosa, rod-cone dystrophy, or advanced glaucoma move around more easily and safely. Participants will do walking and orientation tasks while receiving the stimulation.
