Neck mobilization may ease Meniere's dizziness
NCT ID NCT07272473
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether adding neck therapy (cervical mobilization) to standard balance exercises can reduce dizziness and improve balance in people with Meniere's disease. 33 adults with Meniere's will be split into three groups: one getting only their usual medication, one adding balance exercises, and one adding both balance exercises and neck therapy. The goal is to see if the neck treatment provides extra relief for dizziness and balance problems.
