About the research
The goal of this study is to to evaluate the effect and feasibility of a rehabilitation protocol with prismatic lenses associated with tDCS, compared to a prismatic lens rehabilitation protocol associated with sham stimulation, in reducing the signs of neglect in a group of patients with spatial heminegligence following ischemic stroke of the right hemisphere.
The secondary objective is to evaluate the impact of this rehabilitation protocol on functional outcome.
Who may be able to participate?

Exclusion Criteria:
- heamorrhagic stroke
- history of neurological disease
- history of psychiatric disease
- use of alchool and drugs
Treatment, groups and participation
The registry may describe treatments and study duration without a complete visit calendar. Ask the study team for the exact schedule, procedures, risks, costs and alternatives. Keep your usual care plan unless your treating clinician tells you otherwise.

What researchers are measuring
Outcome measures describe what is being studied. They are not proof that a treatment works.
Primary measures
Neuropsychological outcome
Time frame: Change from baseline OCS at 2 weeks
Oxford Cognitive Screening (OCS): is structured in 10 subtests: picture naming (0-4); semantics (0-3); orientation (0-4); visual field (0-4); sentence reading (0-15); number writing (0-3); calculation (0-4); broken hearts (0-50); praxis (0-12); recall and recognition (0-4); trails task (0-13)
Neuropsychological outcome
Time frame: Change form baseline the semi structured scale for the functional evaluation of extrapersonal neglect at 2 weeks
The semi structured scale for the functional evaluation of extrapersonal neglect (0-9); high score means a worse outcome
Neuropsychological outcome
Time frame: Change form baseline the semi structured scale for the functional evaluation of personal neglect at 2 weeks
The semi structured scale for the functional evaluation of personal neglect (0-9); high score means worse outcome
Neuropsychological outcome
Time frame: Change from baseline the Bergegò Scale at 2 weeks.
Bergegò Scale (0-30); high score means a better outcome
Functional outcome
Time frame: Change from baseline the Barthel Index at 2 weeks
Barthel Index (0-100); high score means a better outcome
