Study Summary

This trial will test a brain scan to help Veterans after a right brain stroke to recover the ability to do daily activities.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for Veterans over 18 who've had their first right brain stroke within the last 1-4 months. They must be able to sit up, have vision better than 20/50 in both eyes, and give informed consent. It's not for those with other neurological disorders like Alzheimer's, previous left brain strokes or significant prior strokes visible on scans.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The study tests Prism Adaptation Therapy (PAT) as a rehabilitation method for spatial neglect after a right brain stroke. The therapy involves visuomotor training while wearing optical prisms over a period of ten days. Researchers aim to develop a brain scan test to identify candidates for PAT.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

While specific side effects are not detailed here, PAT generally involves visual distortion through prisms which may cause initial disorientation or discomfort but typically adapts over time during therapy.

Treatment Details

Study Objectives

Outcome measures can provide a clearer picture of what you can expect from a treatment.

Primary outcome measures

Functional independence Measure (FIM) improvement trajectory

Spatial neglect (SN) type (Aiming SN versus Where SN)

Secondary outcome measures

SN severity, as assessed by the Behavioral Inattention Test-conventional subtest (BIT-c)

SN severity, as assessed by the Catherine Bergego Scale (CBS)

Trial Design

2Treatment groups

Active Control

Group I: No spatial neglectActive Control1 Intervention

People without spatial neglect symptoms will not receive an intervention for spatial neglect.

Group II: Prism adaptation TherapyActive Control1 Intervention

People with spatial neglect will receive this effective treatment to reduce symptoms, which the investigators' previous work indicated may be particularly effective for Aiming SN symptoms.
