About this study

Official title: Investigation of the Effectiveness of Rehabilitation Equipment Based on Visual Feedback Technology (Eye Tracking) in Patients Who Have Suffered a Cerebral Stroke

Investigators will test the effectiveness of oculomotor cognitive training using eye tracker-based device during rehabilitation course in patients with a degree of disability no more than 3 points on a scale Rankin.

Read the detailed description

After a stroke, a wide range of neurological disorders can occur. One of them is impairments of the visual-oculomotor system in 8-31% of cases. Such patients experience loss of visual fields, hemianopia, tunnel vision, diplopia. All this causes great difficulties for returning to everyday life, as well as to professional activity. The eye tracking method allows to diagnose and evaluate the effectiveness of training aimed at improving the functioning of the saccadic system, reducing the volume of visual deficit. Currently, eye tracking is represented by a variety of technological solutions, but not all of them are used in the clinic.

The aim of the study is the application of an eye tracking-based device in cerebral stroke survivors for the correction of oculomotor disorders and visual attention functions.

Stroke patients participate in the study in Federal Center of Brain Research and Neurotechnologies of the Federal Medical Biological Agency, Moscow, Russia. The study has been conducted since January, 10 and was approved by a local ethic committee and followed principles of the Declaration of Helsinki. The patients stay in a 24-hour hospital and undergo a rehabilitation course. For 3 weeks, patients receive daily training on the C-Eye Pro device, AssisTech Sp. z. o. o, Poland. The patients interact with the device only by using eye movements. Participants undergo a primary assessment of cognitive functions (memory, thinking skills, language, visual-spatial and communicative functions). According to the results of the diagnosis, participants are offered a scheme of correctional training and secondary assessment at the end of the training. Correction training consists, firstly, of 10-minute exercise at the beginning of each session, aimed at improving visual functions and attention. Patients have to follow the spontaneously moving object. The result is evaluated qualitatively using heat and scanpath maps. Secondly, the correctional training includes a block of neurorehabilitation (simple cognitive exercises similar to the tasks presented in assessment).

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Training on eye tracker based deviceBehavioural

    The intervention is based on the principle of visual biofeedback. The patient sees where his gaze is and can objectively assess and correct his visual error.

  • Training with a neuropsychologistBehavioural

    The intervention is based on classical neuropsychological techniques aimed at correcting oculomotor disorders and improving visual attention (blank, psychometric, etc.)

  • Training on eye tracker based device and with a neuropsychologistBehavioural

    This is combination of the first and second interventions

Study groups in NCT05309148
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Training on eye tracker based deviceExperimentalPatients will undergo a primary diagnostics of cognitive functions (memory, thinking skills, language, visual-spatial and communicative functions) and an diagnostics of the visual attention index on an eye tracker-based device. Based on the results of the diagnosis, participants will be offered a scheme of correctional training and secondary diagnostics at the end of training. Correctional training on an eye tracker-based device consists, firstly, of a 10-minute exercise at the beginning of each lesson aimed at improving visual functions and attention. Patients had to follow a spontaneously moving object. Secondly, correctional training includes a block of neurorehabilitation (simple cognitive exercises similar to the tasks presented in the assessment).

What is being measured

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

  1. Consciousness Test

    It is necessary to monitor the emerging stimuli (red circles) and keep eyes in the center of each of them. The quantitative indicator of visual attention as a percentage will be measured.

    Measured: Change from baseline at 2 weeks

  2. Cognitive function scale: memory scale

    Diagnostics of memory functions. Scale is evaluated as a percentage (min - 0%, max - 100%), the higher score means better performance

    Measured: Change from baseline at 2 weeks

  3. Cognitive function scale: language scale

    Diagnostics of language functions. Scale is evaluated as a percentage. (min - 0%, max - 100%), the higher score means better performance

    Measured: Change from baseline at 2 weeks

  4. Cognitive function scale: visual-spatial scale

    Diagnostics of visual-spatial functions. Scale is evaluated as a percentage. (min - 0%, max - 100%), the higher score means better performance

    Measured: Change from baseline at 2 weeks

  5. Cognitive function scale: communicative scale

    Diagnostics of communicative functions. Scale is evaluated as a percentage. (min - 0%, max - 100%), the higher score means better performance

    Measured: Change from baseline at 2 weeks

  6. Cognitive function scale: thinking skills scale

    Diagnostics of thinking skills functions. Scale is evaluated as a percentage. (min - 0%, max - 100%), the higher score means better performance

    Measured: Change from baseline at 2 weeks

  7. Assessment of a neuropsychologist

    Screening for cognitive impairment: MoCA (Montreal Cognitive Assessment), the results vary between 0 and 30 points. A score of 26 points or more is considered the norm. The lower the score, the worse the result

    Measured: Change from baseline at 2 weeks

  8. Assessment of a neuropsychologist

    Qualitative assessment of neuropsychological examination data (Luria-Nebraska neuropsychological battery)

    Measured: Change from baseline at 2 weeks
