Date Event Description
12 May 2021 New citation required but conclusions have not changed Despite the inclusion of 65 RCTs, the effectiveness of non‐pharmacological interventions for reducing the disabling effects of neglect and increasing independence remains unproven and largely unstudied despite numerous small trials. No rehabilitation intervention for spatial neglect can be supported or refuted based on current evidence
12 May 2021 New search has been performed We added 44 new trials to 21 of the 23 trials that we included in the previous version. Sixty‐five trials (1951 participants) are now included. We excluded 2 previously included studies as either fewer than 50% of participants had neglect, or we were unable to confirm participants had neglect. We have re‐written all sections using standard Cochrane sub‐headings. We have expanded the inclusion criteria to include any non‐pharmacological intervention. Our primary outcome has changed to persisting effects on functional disability to reflect the importance of this outcome for people with stroke. We have changed the comparisons: for this version of the review, we changed the presentation of statistical comparisons using 8 broad treatment types. We have included Patient, Carer, and Public Involvement in Research by consulting with stroke survivors
