Tokyo, March 26 -- UMIN Clinical Trials Registry (UMIN-CTR) received information related to the study (UMIN000061060) titled 'EEG Phase Synchronization Associated with Electrotactile Morse-Code Collision Avoidance in People with Blindness' on March 26.

Study Type: Interventional

Study Design: Basic Design - Single arm Randomization - Non-randomized Blinding - Open -no one is blinded Control - Historical

Primary Sponsor: Institute - Gunma Paz University

Condition: Condition - Individuals with Blindness Classification by malignancy - Others Genomic information - NO

Objective: Narrative objectives1 - To evaluate task success in an electrotactile Morse code collision-avoidance task in blind participants, to determine whether age at vision loss predicts success in adventitiously blind individuals, and to identify EEG connectivity patterns associated with successful versus failed task performance. Basic objectives2 - Efficacy

Intervention: Interventions/Control_1 - Participants performed continuous lateral head rotation. When the onboard computer vision system detected an approaching person within the frontal camera field of view, the corresponding Morse code signal was delivered electrotactically to the skin surface. Participants were instructed to cease head rotation and point their index finger toward the midline upon perceiving and identifying the delivered Morse code character.

Eligibility: Age-lower limit - 20 years-old = Gender - Male and Female Key inclusion criteria - Complete blindness with no light perception Absence of any pharmacological treatment for neurological conditions Key exclusion criteria - Any residual light perception or form vision Target Size - 12

Recruitment Status: Recruitment status - Open public recruiting Date of protocol fixation - 2024 Year 02 Month 22 Day Date of IRB - 2024 Year 06 Month 01 Day Anticipated trial start date - 2024 Year 08 Month 01 Day Last follow-up date - 2030 Year 03 Month 31 Day
