Does galvanic vestibular stimulation reduce spatial neglect? A negative study

Conclusion Galvanic vestibular stimulation did not reduce spatial neglect symptoms in any of the stimulation conditions. Further studies are necessary to understand the disparity between our results and those reported in the literature. Repeated sessions, a higher current intensity and/or alternating-current stimulation may improve this method before it can be used clinically.
