Summary
This pilot trial tests whether a home-based exercise program, paired with a self-guided education booklet, can help adults aged 60 and older who have benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) with or without vestibular hypofunction. Participants are randomly assigned to either the home program or standard care, and they are followed for 20 weeks. The study focuses on feasibility and safety, while also exploring changes in balance, dizziness, and quality of life.
