First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tests whether special eye and balance exercises can reduce dizziness, motion sickness, and improve quality of life in people with inner-ear balance problems. Thirty-two adults with motion sickness or vertigo will do either standard habituation exercises or a new optokinetic training program five times a week. The goal is to see if the new training improves balance, gaze stability, and motion sickness better than standard exercises.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

optokinetic training protocol combined with gaze and postural stabilization exercises

What this could lead to

If this works, it could offer a non-drug way to reduce motion sickness and improve balance and quality of life for people with inner-ear balance problems.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early-stage trial with only 32 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The training is time-intensive (five times a week) and may not be practical for all.
