Digital therapy tested for debilitating 'Land Sickness'

This study tested a non-invasive visual exercise program, delivered online, for a single patient with Mal de Débarquement Syndrome—a condition causing persistent rocking or swaying sensations after travel. The patient performed head movements while watching moving stripes on a screen, aiming to retrain the brain's balance system. Researchers measured changes in dizziness, disability, and quality of life to see if this approach could offer a new way to manage symptoms.
