Touch therapy for neglect awareness after stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests whether regular touch-based therapy can help stroke survivors who ignore one side of their body (called unilateral neglect). You would receive therapy sessions, likely at home, to see if this treatment improves your awareness and function.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
