NCT ID NCT07635329
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Sep 15, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tests whether a home-based computer training program can improve vision in people who have lost part of their visual field due to stroke, traumatic brain injury, or brain tumor. Researchers will use brain scans to understand how the brain changes with training. The study involves 100 adults who are at least 3 months past their injury.
