NCT ID NCT07507383
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 24, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tests a new therapy that uses moving sounds to help stroke survivors with spatial neglect — a condition where they ignore one side of space. 18 participants will either get standard rehab or standard rehab plus dynamic auditory cueing for 4 weeks. The goal is to see if the sound-based approach improves attention and daily function.
