The hidden vision damage brain injury leaves behind
NCT ID NCT07858708
First seen Oct 05, 2026 · Last updated Oct 06, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
Researchers at Charles University are studying how often vision problems appear in adults who have had a stroke, traumatic brain injury, or brain tumor. About 108 participants complete a standardized eye exam covering five areas: sharpness, contrast sensitivity, visual field, eye movement, and visual attention. Participants also fill out a 33-item questionnaire about how their vision affects daily activities. The study compares the exam findings with the questionnaire scores to see whether people with more measured vision problems report more difficulty in daily life.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If researchers map how brain injury affects different parts of vision, doctors could one day screen for these problems more reliably and connect them to the daily difficulties patients describe.
- What could go wrong
- This study only observes and measures people at a single point in time, so it cannot show cause and effect or whether vision improves. Results from 108 adults at one site may not apply to everyone with brain injury.

Who can take part
This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.
Who is studied
The study population will consist of adults with acquired brain injury receiving inpatient or outpatient rehabilitation and neurological care at multiple clinical sites in the Czech Republic. Participants will be recruited from patients referred for rehabilitation assessment and treatment at participating healthcare facilities. The study population will include individuals with stroke, traumatic brain injury, and brain tumors at different stages of recovery.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Adults aged 18-85 years. * Diagnosis of acquired brain injury, including stroke, traumatic brain injury, or brain tumor. * Ability to participate in the required study assessment. * Ability to understand the study procedures and provide informed consent. Exclusion Criteria: * Pre-existing ocular or visual disorder of sufficient severity to prevent valid assessment of study visual outcomes or to preclude attribution of the identified impairment to acquired brain injury. * Severe communication impairment preventing reliable completion of the required study assessments. * Medical, neurological, behavioral, or other condition preventing reliable completion of the required study assessments.
