Ameliorating Stroke-induced Hemianopia Via Multisensory Training
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 30 Oct 2026
Brief summary (registry, in English)
This study seeks to determine the extent of the visual capabilities that can be restored in hemianopic stroke patients by a multisensory training technique and evaluate changes in the brain that the training induces. The effectiveness of the technique will be evaluated in two interventional contexts: patients whose blindness is long-standing and stable, and another in which intervention is as soon as possible after the stroke.

Copied verbatim from ClinicalTrials.gov and grouped by topic. Only the trial team decides who can take part.
Prior treatment
- Taking medication that could negatively influence safety during the intervention
- Enrolled in another interventional research study \<= 3 months prior to beginning this study
- Self-reports regularly drinking \> 14 alcoholic beverages a week or current illicit drug use
Other illness
- Current diagnosis of a major neurological disorder that could interfere with the ability to follow task instructions (Dementia, Parkinson's disease, etc.) or that may interfere with the rehabilitation paradigm (uncorrected asymmetric hearing loss, deafness, hemineglect)
- Current stroke symptoms deemed exclusionary by a study physician. This will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis by a study physician to determine whether factors may affect study outcomes, aims, or integrity
Other
