ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is exploring how a program called Visionary VR can improve motor performance and visual function in adults who have experienced an acquired brain injury, which can result from a stroke or trauma. The study aims to help individuals with visual field loss—meaning they have difficulty seeing in certain parts of their vision—by using tools like special lenses, prisms, and virtual reality exercises. The goal is to enhance their balance, mobility, and overall ability to perform daily activities.

To participate in the trial, you must be an adult aged 18 to 75 who has suffered an acquired brain injury more than six months ago and does not have cognitive impairments or significant eye issues like glaucoma. You'll need access to a computer and the internet to do exercises at home. If you join, you can expect to engage in a variety of rehabilitation activities designed to stimulate your vision and improve your motor skills, all while being guided by a team of professionals. This study is currently recruiting participants, so it's a great opportunity to contribute to new treatment methods for visual rehabilitation.
