Case Study: Brain Injury and Visual Field Defect Treatment with coMra Therapy

Patient Information

• Age: 61 years old
• Gender: Female
• Condition: Left parietal brain injury due to auto accident

Medical History

No prior medical issues; patient was healthy before the accident.

Symptoms Post-Accident

1. Left side neglect
2. Loss of left inferior visual field
3. Reduced vision in right eye
4. Photophobia (light sensitivity)
5. Extreme fatigue
6. Chronic headaches
7. Visual midline shift syndrome
8. Suppression of binocular vision (shutting off right eye to see)

coMra Therapy Treatment

• 13 treatments over 7 weeks
• In-office treatments using modified Neurology 3 protocol
• Treatment of hemorrhage area: 5 minutes at 50 Hz each session
• Device used: Delta Pro 905 model

Other Therapies

• 13 sessions of vision therapy over 3 months (6 months prior to coMra therapy)
• Result: Some improvements in acuity and eye coordination, but no change in visual fields

Medications

None

Results After coMra Therapy

Visual Acuity Improvement

• Right eye: From 20/60 minus a letter to 20/40 minus a letter
• Left eye: Maintained at 20/20

Symptom Improvements

• Headaches ceased
• Midline shift reduced
• Improved peripheral vision
• Enhanced depth perception
• Better sense of balance
• Improved mobility

Visual Field Improvements

Before Treatment

• Right eye: 5 out of 16 areas had defects
• Left eye: 4 out of 16 areas had defects

After Treatment

• Right eye: 2 out of 16 areas still had defects
• Left eye: No defects

Patient’s Subjective Improvements

• Ability to see full faces (previously only partial faces visible)
• Improved vision of family members’ faces
• Better overall mobility and balance
