A randomized controlled trial of Scanning Eye trAining as a Rehabilitation Choice for Hemianopia after stroke (SEARCH)
Both groups improved in all primary and secondary outcomes. There were no differences between the groups for any outcome measure. However, it was possible that there was a placebo effect from additional information resources and clinician input during the first 6 weeks of treatment and for the sham training providing a treatment effect. These aspects warrant further research.
