Summary

This study investigates why some people with bilateral vestibular hypofunction—a chronic balance disorder—experience more severe symptoms than others. Researchers will use advanced brain imaging (MRI) and a battery of vestibular function tests in about 80 patients and 40 healthy volunteers. By linking brain structure, inflammation markers, and symptom reports, the study aims to uncover the mechanisms behind the condition and pave the way for more personalized care.

What this could lead to
If successful, this study could lead to better diagnostic tools and more personalized rehabilitation strategies for people with balance disorders.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, not a treatment trial, so it will not directly test any new therapy. The findings may not apply to all patients with vestibular hypofunction.
