NCT ID NCT02483429

First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated Apr 29, 2026 · Updated 24 times

Summary

This study tested whether a special video eye-tracking device (VOG) can help emergency room doctors more accurately diagnose the cause of vertigo or dizziness. 130 adults with these symptoms were randomly assigned to get either VOG-guided care or standard care. The goal was to see if VOG could better tell apart inner ear problems from dangerous brain conditions like stroke, potentially leading to faster and safer treatment decisions.
