Assessment of Eye Movements in Stroke Patients and Closed-loop Intervention 123

Investigating Visual-Spatial Deficits in Stroke Patients

Recruiting
18 years and older
All
Phase N/A

This study investigates visuospatial deficits in patients who have experienced a unilateral stroke. Visuospatial deficits affect a person's ability to understand and interact with their environment visually. The researchers will study how patients' eye movements while looking at natural scenes relate to their cognitive, motor, and functional abilities, as determined by standard neuropsychological tests. Additionally, brain scans will be used to explore the relationship between brain structure and function and the patients' eye movement patterns.

Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either standard rehabilitation or an additional new training focusing on visual exploration. This training involves looking at natural scenes while receiving feedback through sounds that guide their attention to important areas of the image. The study will compare changes in the participants' eye movement behavior, cognitive tests, and brain scans with those in a control group and a group of healthy individuals.

  • Who can participate: Participants must have had a first unifocal ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke. They should be vigilant and may have up to two small, clinically silent brain lesions. Symptoms must be evident in visual, attention, memory, motor, or language areas.
  • Study details: Participants will undergo either standard rehabilitation or additional investigational visual exploration training. The training uses an auditory feedback system to guide eye movements toward important areas of images. A placebo is not involved in this study.

FAQs

Learn more about clinical trials

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
