In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

Homonymous visual field defects (HVFDs) after acquired brain injuries affect daily life by impairing reading, navigation, and social activities, often impacting anxiety and depression. Spontaneous recovery is rare. Rehabilitation approaches include restorative treatments, which aim to expand the visual field through the stimulation of the so-called transition zone, and compensatory strategies, such as audio-visual training (AVT), which combines eye movement exercises with synchronized visual and auditory cues to train oculomotor scanning and overcome the visual field loss. Combining AVT with non-invasive brain stimulation, such as transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), may enhance recovery by promoting brain plasticity. Early evidence suggests that tDCS applied to the lesioned visual cortex during AVT can speed and stabilize improvements, potentially also restoring parts of the
