Glaucoma Rehabilitation Using ElectricAI Transcranial Stimulation (GREAT) - Randomized Controlled Trial Using Combined Perceptual Learning and Transcranial Electrical Stimulation for Vision Enhancement

Sponsor: The Hong Kong Polytechnic University

View on ClinicalTrials.gov

Summary

Glaucoma is a complex disease that can result in progressive vision loss. It is the second leading cause of blindness, accounting for 23% of permanent blindness in Hong Kong. There are no treatments that restore vision lost to glaucoma. However, recent studies have shown that vision can be improved by perceptual learning (PL) and transcranial electrical stimulation (tES). This study will examine the effect of perceptual learning and tES on improving quality of life, visual function and functional performance in patients with peripheral field loss due to glaucoma. It is phase 2 of Glaucoma Rehabilitation Using ElectricAI Transcranial Stimulation (GREAT) project.
