Screening and Rehabilitation of Visual Field Defects in Post-Stroke Patients

Trial design

Treatments tested in this trial

• Early multisensory audio-visual stimulation training

  Other intervention Other interventionAn intervention that does not fit one of the standard intervention types.

  Multisensory audio-visual stimulation training (using the device AV DESK Linari Medical) will last four weeks. Through audiovisual stimuli produced by the Av-Desk Flexi device, patients undergo a brain cell training program that compensates for blind spots in their visual field. The recipes regulating the combinations of stimuli are provided daily, under the supervision of a physician, where the data processing unit manages the data from the stimuli provided to the patient, their response to said stimuli, and monitors their position. The follow up visual field test will detect whether early intervention with multisensory audio-visual stimuli can improve visual field loss

• Early visual field test

  Diagnostic test Diagnostic testA test used to detect or assess a condition, such as imaging or a laboratory test.

  Visual field assessment with wearable devices (PalmScan VF2000) performed at the bedside in post-stroke patients who met the inclusion criteria during their stay in the neurology hospital unit, as soon as they were stabilized. Standard 120-point visual field tests will be performed on the left and right eyes separately, with the following quantification parameters: test duration, fixation losses, false positives, false negatives, points seen, points not seen, relative defects. Patients with a monocular residual perimetric defect of less than 106 points seen out of 124 (equal to 85% of the stimuli presented) and in any case with a defect greater than 12 points if presented in a single quadrant, will be selected for the clinical trial and invited to repeat the same visual field evaluation, using the same wearable devices in the 2-months follow-up.
