A prospective, interventional cohort design was used. For the main, impairment-based outcome measure (average visual search time), the within-subject control was affected vs. unaffected side. Four hundred and twenty-six participants who fitted the inclusion criteria completed all 4 time points (1200 therapy trials). We found a significant three-way interaction between therapy, side and group. Eye-Search therapy improved search times to the affected visual field of patients with either hemianopia alone or neglect and hemianopia, but not those with neglect alone. Effect sizes were moderate to large and consistent with previous studies. We found a similar significant interaction between therapy and group for the patient-reported outcome measure "finding things" that most closely matched the impairment-based outcome (visual search). Eye-Search therapy improves both impairment-based and patient-reported outcome measures related to visual search in patients with hemianopia alone or hemianopia and neglect. date: 2020-04-26 date_type: published official_url: http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/09602011.2020.1751662 oa_status: green full_text_type: pub language: eng primo: open primo_central: open_green verified: verified_manual elements_id: 1780073 doi: 10.1080/09602011.2020.1751662 lyricists_name: Leff, Alexander lyricists_id: APLEF35 actors_name: Flynn, Bernadette actors_id: BFFLY94 actors_role: owner full_text_status: public publication: Neuropsychological Rehabilitation event_location: England citation: Szalados, R; Leff, AP; Doogan, CE; (2020) The clinical effectiveness of Eye-Search therapy for patients with hemianopia, neglect or hemianopia and neglect.
