Brain Stimulation for Neglect After Right-Side Stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your stroke was on the right side of your brain and happened for the first time within the last few weeks to months
- You experience left-sided visual neglect (difficulty noticing things on your left), confirmed by a specific eye-tracking test
- You are 18 years or older
- Your vision is normal or corrected to normal (with glasses or contacts if needed)
- You can safely have an MRI scan and do not have metal implants in your head
- You are able to understand the study and follow instructions, and can commit to attending sessions

This study tests whether a non-painful brain stimulation technique can help people who have “spatial neglect,” a common problem after stroke where part of space is ignored. It may improve attention and awareness during thinking and daily activities by targeting brain areas involved in attention.
This trial tests whether combining transcranial magnetic stimulation (a non-invasive brain stimulation) with mirror therapy (using a mirror to trick the brain into thinking a paralyzed limb is moving) can help people who have trouble paying attention to one side of space after a stroke.
This study looks at ways to measure and improve “neglect,” when someone has trouble noticing one side after a stroke. It involves specific brain/hand stimulation testing and focuses on people a few months after stroke.
This trial tests a type of brain stimulation (called cTBS) to help improve arm movement after a stroke. It is designed for people who have weakness in one arm due to a first stroke and can start treatment within 21 days.
This trial is testing if a non-invasive brain stimulation technique, called iTBS, can improve leg movement in people who have had a stroke more than six months ago and still have some weakness on one side.
This study looks at how the two sides of your brain work together to help your arm recover after a stroke. It uses brain stimulation (TMS) and MRI scans to understand brain healing and may help guide future treatments.
