Can VR games restore lost vision in young brain tumor survivors?
NCT ID NCT07558395
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Sep 17, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tests whether a virtual reality program can improve vision in 120 children, teens, and young adults who have lost part of their visual field (hemianopsia) after a brain tumor. Participants will use a VR headset at home for 8 weeks to do visual exercises. The goal is to see if this can help them see more in their blind area and improve their daily life.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- virtual reality visual stimulation program (3D-MOT)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could offer a home-based way to improve visual field loss and quality of life for young brain tumor survivors.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-stage trial with no prior results, so the program may not improve vision. The effect may also vary from person to person.
