Brain training and eye exercises for West Nile virus and multiple sclerosis patients

This trial is testing a new approach called MindLenses that combines two types of treatment: prismatic adaptation (special eye exercises) and serious games (brain-training computer programs). The study includes people diagnosed with either West Nile virus infection or multiple sclerosis who have experienced problems with memory, attention, or everyday activities. Researchers want to see if this combined treatment can help improve thinking abilities and mood better than standard brain training alone.

Both West Nile virus and multiple sclerosis can damage the brain and cause difficulties with thinking, memory, attention, and mood—sometimes making it hard for people to do daily activities. Currently, standard brain training is offered, but doctors are looking for better ways to help patients recover thinking skills faster and more completely.
