Eye training may calm Neck-Related dizziness
NCT ID NCT07790874
First seen Aug 27, 2026 · Last updated Aug 28, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial tests whether adding eye movement exercises to a standard neck therapy can ease pain, dizziness, and disability in people with non-traumatic cervical dizziness. Participants, aged 20 to 40, will receive either the neck therapy alone or combined with oculomotor training. The study measures changes in gaze stability, neck disability, dizziness handicap, and neck movement range.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Oculomotor exercises (eye movement training) combined with Sustained Natural Apophyseal Glides (SNAGs), a manual therapy technique for the neck.
- What this could lead to
- If effective, this combination could offer a non-drug way to reduce dizziness, pain, and disability in people with chronic neck-related dizziness.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small early-stage trial with 48 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The exercises may not outperform standard care, and some people might find the movements uncomfortable.
