Exploring new therapy for stroke recovery in the right brain.

Phase N/A

After a right brain stroke, many Veterans struggle with tasks like dressing and eating due to spatial neglect. This means they have trouble noticing things on their left side. A therapy called Prism Adaptation Therapy (PAT) may help. PAT involves wearing special glasses for 10 days to help the brain adjust. However, not everyone with spatial neglect is diagnosed or receives this treatment. In this study, researchers are developing a brain scan test to find which Veterans will benefit most from PAT. This could help them become more independent and improve their quality of life.

  • The study involves 10 days of therapy using special glasses.
  • You must have had a right brain stroke within 1-4 months ago.
  • Veterans who participate should be able to sit up, see well with both eyes, and point to objects.

It's important to know that this study is focused on finding the best candidates for PAT, aiming to make sure Veterans get the right care and treatment for improving daily life after a stroke.
