Retraining the eye after stroke: a digital therapy to restore lost vision?
NCT ID NCT07752563
First seen Aug 07, 2026 · Last updated Aug 07, 2026
Summary
This pilot trial tests whether NeuroEyeCoach, a computer-based eye movement training program, can help stroke survivors who have lost part of their visual field. Sixty participants will be randomly assigned to receive either the training plus usual care or usual care alone. The study will assess whether a larger trial is feasible and look for early signs that the training improves vision-related functioning and wellbeing.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- NeuroEyeCoach, a computer-based eye movement training programme
- What this could lead to
- If effective, this training could offer a practical, non-invasive way to improve vision-related functioning and quality of life for stroke survivors with visual field loss.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small pilot study, so results may not be conclusive. The training may not improve vision or daily function, and some participants might find it difficult to adhere to the six-week program.
