Brain stimulation for balance and thinking in older adults with glaucoma
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be over 55 years old.
- You must have primary open-angle or normal-tension glaucoma in both eyes.
- Your vision loss should be mild to moderate (not severe).
- You must have normal cognitive function.
- You should not have other eye diseases, balance disorders, or neurological conditions that could interfere.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 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 if a gentle electrical current applied to the scalp can improve vision in people with glaucoma. It uses a type of non-invasive brain stimulation called rtACS, which may help damaged optic nerves work better.
This trial tests if a gentle electrical stimulation on the eye can slow or improve vision loss in people with open-angle glaucoma. It uses a device you can use at home after training.
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 studies whether electrical stimulation can help improve vision in people with glaucoma-related optic nerve damage. You may qualify if your visual field test shows moderate to severe loss and your eye pressure is stable.
