Randomized controlled trial on hemifield eye patching and optokinetic stimulation in acute spatial neglect

I'm sure your doctor will be telling you shortly that this trial failed. But ask anyway about the protocol used to see if you want to try it anyway.

In a randomized controlled trial, the authors compared the combined treatment of hemifield eye patching and repetitive optokinetic stimulation in acute stroke patients with neglect to the spontaneous course. An early intervention of combined hemifield eye patching and optokinetic stimulation in acute stroke patients with spatial neglect has no additive effect to the spontaneous remitting course of the disorder.
