Understanding Visual Hallucinations in Low Vision Patients
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study investigates Charles Bonnet Syndrome, which causes people with significant vision loss to see things that aren't there (visual hallucinations). Researchers want to better understand why this happens and how it affects patients' quality of life.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are between 40 and 70 years old
- You do not have major cognitive impairment or untreated psychiatric conditions
- You are able to understand and sign an informed consent form

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at how people with schizophrenia or bipolar disorder see the world. By comparing their visual perception to people without these conditions, researchers hope to learn more about how the brain processes what we see.
This study looks at how your past experiences and expectations might influence visual hallucinations if you have Parkinson's disease. It involves cognitive tests and compares people with and without hallucinations, as well as healthy volunteers.
This study tests whether vision rehabilitation exercises done at home, guided by brain imaging, can help people regain vision after a stroke, brain injury, or tumor. Participants will use brain scans to personalize their therapy.
This trial compares different visual field test patterns to detect central vision loss in glaucoma patients who already show thinning of retinal cells. The goal is to find which test pattern works best for early detection.
This study teaches people with central vision loss (blurred or missing spots in the middle of vision) how to use their remaining side vision better, using special training with audio and visual feedback. It may help improve how well you can read and recognize faces.
This study tests whether the brain can improve vision after damage caused by stroke, tumor, or injury. It may help people with vision loss from a brain lesion find new ways to see better.
