NCT ID NCT06500975

First seen Mar 22, 2026 · Last updated May 15, 2026 · Updated 10 times

Summary

This study tests a device called a vestibular implant, which electrically stimulates the balance nerve to help people with severe, long-term dizziness and unsteadiness. Researchers will follow 15 adults (ages 22–90) for up to 4 years after implantation to see if it improves walking, posture, and quality of life. The implant is not a cure—it aims to manage symptoms and improve daily function.
