New citation required but conclusions have not changed |
Despite the addition of 11 further trials, the key conclusions of this review have not changed greatly since the 2006 version: The effectiveness of cognitive rehabilitation for reducing the disabling effects of neglect and increasing independence remains unproven. No rehabilitation approach can be supported or refuted from current randomised controlled trials |

We added 11 new trials to the 12 trials that we included in the previous version. Twenty‐three trials (628 participants) are now included. We have rewritten the Discussion section using standard Cochrane sub‐headings. We have expanded the outcomes: previous versions of the review had functional disability, neglect assessments, and discharge destination as outcomes. For this update, we added a number of secondary outcomes that had been identified as important to stroke survivors. This brings this review in line with other reviews of visual problems after stroke. We have changed the comparisons: for this version of the review, we changed the presentation of statistical comparisons. In particular, we amended the sub‐group comparisons of bottom‐up and top‐down approaches, so that analyses included sub‐groups of types of treatment |
