VR headset could spot and treat brain injury blindness
NCT ID NCT07227844
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This pilot study tests a mixed-reality VR headset to help diagnose and treat 'neglect' — a condition where brain injury patients ignore one side of their world. Five adults with stroke, tumor, or trauma will use the device at home to track and improve their attention. The goal is to see if the headset is safe, practical, and can measure neglect more precisely than current methods.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
VR Neglect Training (device)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could lead to a more accessible, home-based tool for diagnosing and treating neglect after brain injury.
What could go wrong
This is a very small pilot study with only 5 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The device is still experimental and may not improve neglect symptoms.
