About
Brain injuries may cause the loss of the ability to see portions of the visual field, the so-called visual field defects (VFDs). VFDs significantly impact the survivors' functional recovery and quality of life, with the majority of patients displaying no spontaneous recovery or being left with residual deficits. Among the available therapies for VFDs, the compensatory scanning training is considered the most promising. Yet, current evidence is insufficient to recommend it in clinical practice, and the scientific community has stressed the need of more high-quality research. The present randomized clinical trial in patients with chronic VFDs caused by brain lesions aims at verifying the feasibility and efficacy of a novel telerehabilitation using a multisensory scanning therapy, by measuring its effects on visual functions and daily activities, and by looking for neural indicators of the therapy-induced improvements.
