iVision - Development of a Game-based Therapy for Children With Cerebral Visual Impairment
Belgium50 participantsStarted 2018-01-02
Plain-language summary
The objective of the present study is to develop a therapeutic, adaptive, and enjoyable game that will be used by children with CVI between the mental age of 3 and 12 years. Such a game will be easy to use and implement by the children, their parents, and therapists.

Inclusion Criteria:
* Visual perceptual deficits or diagnosed with CVI
* Gross Motor Function Classification (GMFCS) level I-IV
* Two age groups; 3-7 and 8-12 years of mental age
Exclusion Criteria:
* mental age below 3 and above 12 years of mental age
* severely limited motor abilities (cerebral palsy with a gross motor function classification level V)
* severely limited or unable to express their experiences with the game due to serious speech disorders, deafness, autism
* visual acuity of ≤ 3/10
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1This trial used a game-based therapy specifically designed for children with cerebral visual impairment — now that the study is completed, has any data been published on whether the game actually improved visual perceptual skills in children like mine, and could you help me review those findings?
2The trial measured things like motion perception, visual-motor integration, and daily functioning through questionnaires — based on my child's specific CVI profile, which of these areas are most affected for them, and would a similar game-based approach be relevant to their treatment plan?
3Since this trial is now completed rather than actively enrolling, are there follow-up studies or similar programs that grew out of this research that my child might be able to access?
4The study used quite a few different assessment tools, like the TVPS and Beery VMI — has my child already been tested with any of these, and if not, would it be worth getting a full visual perceptual assessment to understand where their challenges really lie?
5Game-based therapy is a non-invasive approach, but I want to make sure we're not delaying something more established — are there current standard therapies for cerebral visual impairment that we should be pursuing alongside or instead of exploring this kind of research-based intervention?

Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
