Summary

This early-phase trial at Boston Children's Hospital will test whether adding virtual reality (VR) to standard treatments like biofeedback and cognitive behavioral therapy can help 12 adolescents with chronic dizziness. The goal is to see if VR can safely and feasibly reduce dizziness and improve quality of life. If successful, it could lead to a new, engaging way to treat this condition.

What this could lead to

If it works, this could offer a new, low-cost way to treat chronic dizziness in teens by using virtual reality to retrain the brain.

What could go wrong
