Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are adults aged 18 and older who have experienced a stroke at least 6 months prior and have moderate upper extremity impairments.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with significant spasticity, severe visual impairments, or those currently receiving concurrent occupational therapy may not benefit from this study.
A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.
What this trial studies
This study investigates the use of the Intensive Visual Stimulation three (IVS3) device in outpatient rehabilitation for individuals with chronic stroke. Participants will engage with the IVS3 device for 30 minutes alongside conventional treatment for 15 minutes over 12 sessions within a 4-6 week period. The study aims to assess both participant satisfaction and improvements in upper extremity function, particularly focusing on those with and without hemispatial neglect. It is an open-label phase I/II study conducted at Weill Cornell Medicine.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could enhance upper limb recovery and improve quality of life for stroke patients.
How similar studies have gone: While this approach is innovative, similar studies exploring visual stimulation for motor recovery have shown promising results.
