Spatial neglect is a characteristic sign of damage to the right hemisphere and is typically characterized by a failure to respond to stimuli on the left side. With about a third of stroke victims showing initial signs of neglect, it is a frequent but also one of the most disabling neurological syndromes. Despite partial recovery in the first months after stroke one third of these patients remain severely disabled in all daily activities, have a poor rehabilitation outcome and therefore require specific treatment. The last decades have seen an intensive search for novel, more effective treatments for this debilitating disorder. An impressive range of techniques to treat neglect has been developed in recent years. Here, we describe those techniques, review their efficacy and identify gaps in the current research on neglect therapy.
空间忽略是右侧大脑半球损伤的一个特征性标志，通常表现为对左侧刺激无反应。约三分之一的中风患者出现最初的忽略迹象，它是一种常见但也是最使人丧失能力的神经综合征之一。尽管中风后最初几个月会有部分恢复，但三分之一的这些患者在所有日常活动中仍然严重残疾，康复效果不佳，因此需要特定的治疗。过去几十年，人们一直在积极寻找针对这种使人衰弱的疾病的新型、更有效的治疗方法。近年来，已经开发出一系列令人印象深刻的治疗忽略的技术。在这里，我们描述了这些技术，回顾了它们的疗效，并确定了当前忽略治疗研究中的空白。
