Visual Functional Connectivity and Visual Improvement After TMS/Binocular Treatment

NCT03151200 · Status: WITHDRAWN · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL

Last updated 2023-05-10

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The purpose of this study is to assess the effectiveness of combining binocular treatment with repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) in improving the vision of adults with amblyopia. This study also seeks to assess the effect of this combined treatment on cortical neural function and functional connectivity.

Conditions

  • Amblyopia

Interventions

DEVICE

Computer based binocular treatment

Binocular amblyopia treatment involves presenting stimuli over a computer screen to the amblyopic eye those are at higher contrast compared to the stimuli that are presented to the good eye, which balances the performances of the two eyes and over time improves the amblyopic eye vision.

DEVICE

Transcranial magnetic stimulation

TMS is a non-invasive research method that generates electrical current at the cortex that can excite neuronal activities and neuronal plasticity.
