About this study

Official title: Development of a Therapeutic Serious Game in the Rehabilitation of Stroke Patient

The growing field of new technologies offers new perspectives for neurorehabilitation. Serious games are a promising solution in the rehabilitation of cognitive impairments, and they may be useful in the rehabilitation of unilateral spatial neglect. The investigators developed a rehabilitation program for visual exploration training with a serious game and investigated its efficiency.

Six patients with unilateral spatial neglect after a right hemispheric stroke were recruited. Three patients assigned to the experimental group received both serious game training and conventional rehabilitation, and three assigned to the control group received only conventional rehabilitation. The investigators compared the two groups after rehabilitation.

What participants receive

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

  • Serious game rehabilitationBehavioural

    Three patients received therapeutic serious game rehabilitation in addition to conventional rehabilitation. The serious game was proposed to be played three times per week for four weeks, for a total of 12 sessions, with 15 min per session (= 45 minutes per week).

What is being measured

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

  1. Bells test

    35 bells are spatially distributed among distractors on sheet of paper (15 on the left side, 5 on the center and 15 on the right side). Subjects have to cancel as many bells as possible. The number of omissions on the left and on the right side is recorded.

    Measured: up to 4 weeks

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Bisection of lines

    2 lines of 200 millimeters are presented on a sheet of paper. Subjects have to mark the middle of the lines. The deviation from the objective middle is measured in millimeter.

    Measured: up to 4 weeks

  2. Ogden scene copying

    Copying of the 'Ogden scene' required participants to copy a scene that consisted of 2 trees, a fence and a house (shown from left to right side of the page). Each stroke in the scene to be copied was counted as a point; each omitted stroke was scored as one error, and each distorted or misplaced stroke was scored as one-half of an error (/4).

    Measured: up to 4 weeks

  3. Reading task

    A text of 116 words is presented with 61 words on the left side and 55 on the right side. Subjects have to read this text. Number of omissions on the left and on the right side is recorded.

    Measured: up to 4 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Serious game rehabilitation in people with Stroke and Unilateral Spatial Neglect, run by Hopitaux de Saint-Maurice.

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 2 inclusion and 4 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 22 Dec 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Bells test (time frame: up to 4 weeks). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 22 Dec 2022.
