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.

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 tests a combination of non-invasive brain stimulation and visual training to see if it can improve vision in people with glaucoma. It may help if you have stable vision loss from glaucoma and want to try a new approach.
