Current trends in the treatment of patients with post-stroke unilateral spatial neglect: a scoping review.

This review provides insight into current interventions for post-stroke unilateral spatial neglect. A plethora of intervention studies have been explored to ameliorate neglect symptoms post-stroke.IMPLICATION FOR REHABILITATIONPrism adaptation (PA) and combination therapy are most commonly investigated intervention for unilateral spatial neglect (USN) and showed promise in ameliorating USN symptoms.No single treatment approach seems optimally superior in the rehabilitation of USN post-stroke.Evidence for the selection of treatment at a specific phase of recovery is not conclusive as both positive and negative outcome on neglect measure were observed across all treatment approaches without specific reference to the phase of recovery.Evidence for the long-term use of PA in USN rehabilitation appears to be modest.
