Brain zaps & VR goggles aim to heal stroke vision loss
NCT ID NCT06875206
Summary
This study is testing whether a combination of gentle brain stimulation and virtual reality therapy can improve vision loss caused by a stroke. Researchers will use a technique called low-intensity focused ultrasound (LIFU) to stimulate the vision areas of the brain, followed by sessions in a virtual reality headset. The study will enroll 28 adults who had a stroke 6 to 24 months ago and are experiencing partial or complete loss of vision in half of their visual field.
