Visual motion therapy for reading problems after stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Eyes & vision, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests whether a special moving visual pattern, shown without any reading task, can improve reading difficulties caused by a stroke-related visual field loss (hemianopia). It may help people who have trouble reading because they miss words on one side.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had a stroke more than one month ago
- You have hemianopia (loss of half of your visual field) without macular sparing (the central vision is also affected)
- You have trouble reading or complain about reading difficulties
- You can read French well enough for the study
- You have no other serious eye problems, no history of dyslexia, and no major cognitive issues like neglect or comprehension problems

This trial tests whether watching moving patterns (optokinetic stimulation) can help improve attention to the neglected side and balance in people recovering from a stroke. It may help reduce the risk of falls and improve daily functioning.
This study tests whether a computer-based visual training program can help people who have lost vision after a stroke to their brain's visual center. You must have been in a prior study with the same team.
This study uses visual training exercises you can do at home on your computer to try to restore some vision lost after a stroke. It also involves a few days of testing and brain scans (MRI) at our lab to see how the training works.
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 tests whether special computer-based visual exercises can help people whose vision was damaged by a stroke. You would do the exercises at home for several months.
This study tests a training program that uses multiple senses, like sight and sound, to help people with vision loss after a stroke. It aims to improve the ability to see on the affected side.
