Non-invasive brain stimulation is a promising tool in treatment of visual impairment. The aim of the ‘Restoration of Vision after Stroke’ (REVIS) network is to determine if non-invasive current stimulation may also have a positive impact on vision restoration in patients with post-chiasmatic visual pathway lesions. In particular, the potential of non-invasive current stimulation in ameliorating vision impairment following stroke is the key issue addressed by the REVIS study group. Within the REVIS network a number of small sample, randomized, controlled, clinical studies including patients with post-chiasmatic lesions due to monohemispheric, ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke were initiated by clinical partners from Germany, Italy and Finland. The network also includes a basic neuroscience project that studies neuronal network reorganization in the cat visual system after stroke (Poland). Beyond the European network, a collaboration with the Institute of Automation at the Chinese Academy of Science was established. This contribution presents the overall aims of the network activity, the rational of the clinical endpoint selection and preliminary findings.
