First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether a wearable device that delivers gentle vibrations through the skull can improve balance and reduce motion sickness in people with vestibular migraine. Fifty-one participants wore the device while sitting in a rotating chair and answered questions about their symptoms. Researchers compared results when the device was on versus off to see if it made a difference.
