Study groups in NCT03463122
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Training firstOtherThis group completed 20 sessions of a field of regard-focused visual exploration therapy program using an head mount display (five daily sessions per week over a period of four weeks) in addition to conventional therapy followed by four weeks of conventional therapy
Receives: Device: field of regard-focused visual exploration therapy; Other: conventional therapy
Waiting firstOtherThis group completed four weeks of conventional therapy followed by 20 sessions of a field of regard-focused visual exploration therapy program using an head mount display (five daily sessions per week over a period of four weeks) in addition to conventional therapy.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Change in Field of regard-response time

    time interval between target onset and response with field of regard setting

    Measured: Baseline, 4 weeks from baseline, 8 weeks from baseline

  2. Change in Field of regard-success rate

    percentage of correct responses (clicking the left or right mouse button in response to a blue or red target, respectively) with field of regard setting

    Measured: Baseline, 4 weeks from baseline, 8 weeks from baseline

  3. Change in Field of regard-head movement

    sum of all quantified head-rotations with field of regard setting

    Measured: Baseline, 4 weeks from baseline, 8 weeks from baseline

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Field of view-response time

    time interval between target onset and response with field of view setting

    Measured: Baseline, 4 weeks from baseline, 8 weeks from baseline

  2. Field of view-success rate

    percentage of correct responses (clicking the left or right mouse button in response to a blue or red target, respectively) with field of view setting

    Measured: Baseline, 4 weeks from baseline, 8 weeks from baseline

  3. Line bisection test

    Participants were asked to bisect the given lines by marking the centre of each line using their preferred or unaffected hand

    Measured: Baseline, 4 weeks from baseline, 8 weeks from baseline

  4. Star cancellation test

    The experimenter crossed out the two small, central stars of the sheet as an example, following which participants were asked to mark the remaining small stars.

    Measured: Baseline, 4 weeks from baseline, 8 weeks from baseline

  5. Catherine Bergego Scale

    a standardised checklist designed to detect the degree of neglect during everyday life via direct observation of functioning during ten tasks

    Measured: Baseline, 4 weeks from baseline, 8 weeks from baseline

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing field of regard-focused visual exploration therapy and conventional therapy in people with Stroke and Neglect, Hemispatial, run by National Rehabilitation Center, Seoul, Korea at 1 site in South Korea.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 13 Mar 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in South Korea. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Change in Field of regard-response time (time frame: Baseline, 4 weeks from baseline, 8 weeks from baseline). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03463122, which also lists 2 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 13 Mar 2018.
