Non-invasive alternating current stimulation improves vision in optic neuropathy.
PURPOSE Partial blindness after visual system damage is considered irreversible, yet the brain has residual visual capacities and considerable plasticity potential. We now applied non-invasive alternating current stimulation (ACS) to the visual system of patients with optic nerve damage with the aim to induce recovery of visual functions. METHODS In a prospective, double-blind, randomized, pl...
متن کاملNoninvasive transorbital alternating current stimulation improves subjective visual functioning and vision-related quality of life in optic neuropathy.
BACKGROUND Noninvasive repetitive transorbital alternating current stimulation (rtACS) can improve visual field size in patients with optic nerve damage, but it is not known if this is of subjective relevance. We now assessed patient reported outcomes to determine the association between visual field changes and vision-related quality of life (QoL). METHODS Patients having visual field impair...
متن کاملAlternating Current Stimulation for Vision Restoration after Optic Nerve Damage: A Randomized Clinical Trial
BACKGROUND Vision loss after optic neuropathy is considered irreversible. Here, repetitive transorbital alternating current stimulation (rtACS) was applied in partially blind patients with the goal of activating their residual vision. METHODS We conducted a multicenter, prospective, randomized, double-blind, sham-controlled trial in an ambulatory setting with daily application of rtACS (n = 4...
متن کاملNon-invasive brain current stimulation in neurorehabilitation.
Neurologic conditions such as stroke, traumatic brain injury, tumors, and degenerative diseases are often associated with dramatic impairments in brain function. Converging evidence in the fields of clinical neurorehabilitation and cognitive neuroscience has revealed that functional recovery after brain injury depends largely on compensatory plastic changes in remaining neural structures. Thus,...
متن کاملRestoration of vision after optic nerve lesions with noninvasive transorbital alternating current stimulation: a clinical observational study.
BACKGROUND Non-invasive current stimulation can induce neuroplastic changes in the normal brain, including visual system structures. Because it is not known if such plasticity is of clinical value, we wished to learn if vision restoration can be induced after optic nerve damage. METHODS In an open-label, clinical observational study 446 patients with optic nerve lesions were treated with non-...
