Inclusion and exclusion lines below are quoted from ClinicalTrials.gov. No match score is shown, because a score needs a person's age, biomarkers, and treatment dates. Confirm the record with the study team.
The neurological examination (NE) is a cornerstone of clinical neurology, with ocular motor assessment being a key component. Technology offers an opportunity to augment and standardize parts of the NE. Eye-tracking systems provide objective quantitative data on eye movements by continuously tracking the eye over time. This data can be used to derive parameters like saccadic latency, gaze velocity, and fixation stability with a precision that is impossible to achieve through human observation by neurologists. The integration of such technology could enhance the traditional NE. Before such technology can be widely adopted, its feasibility and acceptability in a clinical population must be established. The primary purpose of this study is to assess the usability of a novel eye-tracking system from the patient's perspective when used in a clinical settings. A secondary purpose is to determine if quantitative data from the eye-tracker correlate with the findings of the traditional clinical neurological examination and to explore whether eye-tracking can provide additional, complementary information not typically captured by standard clinical assessment....
