Clinical Trial Summary

Visual neglect is a common disorder following stroke and an indicator of poor recovery compared to stroke survivors without visual neglect. The goal of this intervention study is to assess the effectiveness of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) in reducing visual neglect symptoms in patients following a stroke. The aim is to answer these questions: 1. Does rTMS decrease visual neglect symptoms in patients following a stroke? 2. If the treatment works, when in the rehabilitation process is it most effective to provide the treatment (6-12 weeks, 16-42 weeks or 52+ weeks after the stroke).


Clinical Trial Description

Visual neglect is a common disorder following stroke and an indicator of poor recovery compared to stroke survivors without visual neglect. Available treatment options are lacking, showing only partial and short lived effects. The goal of this intervention study is to assess the effectiveness of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) in reducing visual neglect symptoms in patients following a stroke. The aim is to answer these questions: 1. Does rTMS decrease visual neglect symptoms in patients following a stroke? 2. If the treatment works, when in the rehabilitation process is it most effective to provide the treatment (6-12 weeks, 16-42 weeks or 52+ weeks after the stroke)? Participants will undergo 1 hz low frequency rTMS treatment period of 10 days at a time. Three treatment periods will be provided, with one month of delay time in-between periods. Repeated treatment will be provided to assess if any cumulative effects appear. Participants will be assessed with behavioral tasks, phenomenological questionnaires and electroencephalography (EEG) before and after each treatment period. ;
