This study tests whether virtual reality (VR) therapy works better than standard balance exercises for people with long-term dizziness. Researchers will enroll 40 adults aged 18-70 who have had dizziness for over 3 months due to inner ear problems. Participants will receive eithe…

This study tests whether wearable augmented reality (AR) glasses can diagnose vertigo as accurately as standard eye-movement exams. About 200 adults with vertigo will try both methods during one visit. If successful, AR glasses could make vertigo assessment faster and more access…

This study tests whether Ai Chi, a slow, controlled water exercise program, can help people with long-term dizziness from inner ear problems. 38 adults will either do standard home exercises or add Ai Chi sessions in a pool over 4 weeks. Researchers will measure changes in balanc…

This study tests whether special eye and balance exercises can reduce dizziness, motion sickness, and improve quality of life in people with inner-ear balance problems. Thirty-two adults with motion sickness or vertigo will do either standard habituation exercises or a new optoki…

This study tests whether rimegepant, a drug used for migraines, can quickly reduce dizziness from conditions like vestibular migraine. About 370 adults with moderate to severe dizziness will receive either rimegepant plus betahistine or betahistine alone. The main goal is to see …

This study tests whether the drug aprepitant can reduce nausea and vomiting after ear surgery. About 100 adults having middle ear procedures will be randomly assigned to receive the drug or a placebo. The goal is to see if it improves recovery comfort.

This study compares two ways to insert a cochlear implant: using a robotic device or the standard manual method. Researchers want to see which approach leads to better hearing one year after surgery. The study will enroll 32 adults with hearing loss, randomly assigning them to on…

This study looks at 10 adults over 50 with hearing loss and one weak balance ear. It compares implanting the device in the weak-balance ear versus the good-balance ear. The goal is to see if choosing the weaker side helps reduce dizziness after surgery.
