NCT ID NCT06578117
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests a new computer-based visual training task for people who have lost part of their vision due to a stroke. Participants watch moving patterns on a screen and learn to detect motion direction, with the goal of improving visual abilities. The study first checks if the training works in healthy people, then tests it in 30 stroke survivors to see if their damaged brains can still learn this way.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Vision training and learning task (computer-based motion discrimination)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could point toward a new, low-burden training method to help restore some visual abilities in people with stroke-related vision loss.
What could go wrong
This is a very early, small study (30 participants) testing feasibility in a lab setting. It may not lead to real-world improvements or work for all types of vision loss.
