Comparing Prism Adaptation Training With and Without TENS for Unilateral Spatial Neglect
This study is looking at whether combining two treatments, Prism Adaptation Training (PAT) and Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS), can better help people who have had a stroke and experience unilateral spatial neglect (USN). USN means you have trouble paying attention to one side of your body. You might be eligible if you've had one stroke, are at least 18 years old, and can give consent. The study wants to see if using PAT and TENS together improves your ability to function and control your movements more than just using PAT alone. Researchers also want to understand if factors like your age or how long ago your stroke happened affect how well the treatment works. The study is currently unclear on its recruitment status.
- Study design
- This interventional study plans to enroll 20 participants. It compares two groups: one receiving Prism Adaptation Training (PAT) with TENS, and another receiving PAT only.
- What's involved
- Participants will receive either PAT with TENS or PAT only during occupational therapy. The primary outcomes will be measured from enrollment until discharge from therapy services, typically 8-12 weeks.
- Compensation
- Not stated in the trial record.
- Follow-up
- Your progress will be measured from the time you enroll until you are discharged from therapy services, which is typically 8-12 weeks.

What this trial measures
- Change in unilateral spatial neglect functional deficitsFrom enrollment to discharge from therapy services which is typically 8-12 weeks
The Catherine Bergego Scale (CBS) is the selected outcome measure for assessing the severity of Unilateral Spatial Neglect (USN) and for evaluating changes in function and neglect following interventions. The CBS includes 10 subtests designed to identify both the presence and severity of USN. Maximum score on the CBS is 30 which indicates severe neglect, minumum score is 0 which indicates no neglect.
- Change in motor control deficitsFrom time of enrollment to discharge from therapy services typically 8-12 weeks
The Wolf Motor Function Test (WMFT) is a standardized assessment tool widely used to measure upper extremity motor abilities in individuals recovering from a stroke. This test serves as an outcome measure for motor control, assessing motor ability via a performance time and a Functional Ability Scale (FAS) of 15 subtests. During the timed tests subjects are allowed a maximum of 120 seconds per task. If a person cannot complete the task within 120 seconds the time is recorded as 120+. The official WFMT time score is the median time of 15 timed tasks. The FAS is calculated using a 6-point ordinal scale from 0-5. A higher score indicates better movement (0 = does not attempt to use the affected limb to 5=movement appears normal). The FAS score is calculated by averaging scores across all subtests.
