Brain Stimulation for Lazy Eye in Children
Part of Brain & nervous system, Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called tDCS (transcranial direct current stimulation) can help children with lazy eye (amblyopia) whose vision hasn't improved with traditional patching treatments. The goal is to see if stimulating the brain can boost the weak eye's vision.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child is between 4 and 14 years old
- Your child has lazy eye (amblyopia) that didn't get better with eye patching
- Your child does not have other eye diseases or constant eye-jerking movements (nystagmus)
- Your child does not have a pacemaker, defibrillator, or brain implants
- Your child does not have significant brain problems, cognitive delays, or mental disabilities that would prevent safe treatment

This study tests a gentle brain stimulation technique called transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) to see if it can help improve vision in older children and young adults with amblyopia (lazy eye).
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 combines two non-invasive treatments for adult lazy eye (amblyopia): gentle brain stimulation and a special eye exercise using augmented reality. The goal is to improve vision in the weaker eye, offering a non-surgical option for adults with this condition.
This study tests a non-invasive treatment using light and brain stimulation to improve vision in adults with amblyopia (lazy eye). It may help if standard treatments haven't worked.
This study tests a new way to treat lazy eye (amblyopia) in 4 to 7 year olds using special shows watched through a headset (dichoptic therapy). It compares this to the standard treatment of wearing a patch over the stronger eye. The goal is to see if the headset therapy works as well or better than patching.
This study tests a new type of vision therapy using 3D images (no glasses needed) to help improve vision in children with lazy eye (amblyopia). It might be an engaging and effective alternative to traditional patching or eye drops.
