Brain and visual stimulation for vision improvement in glaucoma
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 80 years old.
- You have been diagnosed with primary open-angle or normal-tension glaucoma in both eyes.
- You have a specific type of vision loss (a relative scotoma) in at least one eye, with a mean deviation of -6dB on a visual field test.
- Your central vision is still good (visual acuity of 6/12 or better).
- Your vision and visual field loss have been stable for at least 3 months.
- You do not have other eye diseases (like macular degeneration or diabetic retinopathy), severe hearing loss, or serious medical or neurological conditions (like stroke or Parkinson's), and you are not taking certain psychiatric or neurological medications.

This trial tests whether gentle electrical stimulation can help improve vision in people with moderate vision loss from glaucoma. It might offer a new way to strengthen remaining vision.
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 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 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 if active video games and exercise can help people with glaucoma improve their balance and daily function. It's for people who have stable vision loss and can still walk independently.
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.
