Summary

This study tested whether a special eye-tracking device (video-oculography) helps emergency room doctors more accurately diagnose the cause of vertigo or dizziness. About 130 adults with dizziness were randomly assigned to get either the eye-tracking test plus standard care, or standard care alone. The goal was to see if the device could safely and quickly tell apart harmless inner-ear problems from serious conditions like stroke.
