Augmented Reality Rehabilitation for Stroke-Related Neglect
Trial Summary
The trial information does not specify whether you need to stop taking your current medications. It's best to discuss this with the trial coordinators or your doctor.
Research shows that using augmented reality (AR) and electroencephalography (EEG) can help detect and predict visual neglect in stroke patients, suggesting that AR-based treatments like the AREEN System and NAMI App may be effective. Additionally, studies on similar AR and virtual reality therapies have shown improvements in attention and orientation in stroke patients with spatial neglect.
12345The available research does not provide specific safety data for augmented reality rehabilitation in humans, but it has been used in studies with stroke patients without reported safety concerns.
12345Augmented reality rehabilitation for stroke-related neglect is unique because it uses technology to create an interactive environment that helps patients actively explore and improve their attention and orientation. This approach is different from traditional therapies as it combines visual and motion tracking technologies to engage patients in a more immersive and engaging way, potentially leading to better outcomes.
12346Eligibility Criteria
This trial is for adults over 18 who've had a stroke and are in inpatient rehab. They must have trouble noticing things on one side (neglect), be able to hear well, respond to vibrations, speak English, and miss targets in an AR test. People with dementia, Parkinson's disease, MS, brain tumors or metal implants that affect EEGs can't join.Inclusion Criteria
