This study is looking for people aged 18 to 80 who have visual field deficits (VFD), which means a part of their vision is missing, often due to a stroke or brain injury. Researchers are testing if combining noninvasive brain stimulation called transcranial random noise stimulation (tRNS) with visual training can help improve vision. tRNS uses a device placed on the scalp to deliver a very mild electrical current to the visual part of the brain. The visual training involves looking at moving images on a computer screen or in a virtual reality headset. The main goal is to see if these treatments can improve your ability to see moving objects after 10 days and again after 6 months. This is a pilot study, meaning it's an early step to refine a rehabilitation approach for VFD.

Study design

This is a randomized pilot study with 24 participants. It compares transcranial random noise stimulation (tRNS) and visual training to sham stimulation (a fake treatment) and visual training.

What's involved

You would receive either real or sham transcranial random noise stimulation for 20-30 minutes, along with visual training using a computer or virtual reality headset. The study measures changes in your vision after 10 days and again after 6 months.

Compensation

Not stated in the trial record.

Follow-up

Your visual abilities will be measured after 10 days of training/stimulation and again after 6 months of training/stimulation.
