Effectiveness of a Visual Telerehabilitation Program on Visual Perception in Children, Adolescents and Young Adults With Hemianopsia Consecutive to a Brain Tumour

Condition(s) studied

Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)

Visual Stimulation: Our audiovisual stimulation procedure IVR, called 3D-MOT, was encoded using the the 3D Unity programming platform and deployed in HMDs with built-in head/eye tracking. We implemented the multiple object tracking (MOT) paradigm, developed in the 80's to study visual attention in humans, and added correlated spatial sound.

standard of care: During this phase, the patients will be at home without a headset and will not be exposed to an audio-visual stimulation task in virtual reality.

Study summary

Evaluate the efficiency of audiovisual stimulation in virtual reality for improving the visual perception of children, adolescents, and young adults with hemianopia resulting from pediatric brain tumors. These individuals can lose up to 50% of their visual field, significantly impacting their independence, mobility, and daily lives.

Eligibility

Primary outcome measure(s)

• Visual field perimetry measured using the Esterman binocular field test — From enrollment to the end of follow up period at 6 months
  Increase at least 3 points in the number of points perceived in the blind field at the Esterman binocular field test after intervention (8 weeks) when compared to baseline and between control and interventional group.
