Strategy Training for Individuals With Unilateral Neglect
Examining Metacognitive Strategy Training for Individuals With Unilateral Spatial Neglect
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 9 Apr 2026
Brief summary (registry, in English)
It is common for individuals after stroke to have a cognitive perceptual impairment called unilateral spatial neglect (neglect). Individuals with neglect have difficulty paying attention to one side of their body or one side of the environment and therefore experience difficulty performing daily activities. There are a lack of effective treatments for neglect and new interventions are needed to help reduce disability for these individuals. Metacognitive strategy training (strategy training) is an intervention that has the potential to reduce neglect-related disability and improve individuals' awareness of their neglect. This study seeks to examine the effects of strategy training on self-awareness, disability, and neglect.
