Summary

This pilot study aimed to test whether immersive virtual reality (VR) exercises could help people with multiple sclerosis who experience dizziness, balance issues, and fatigue. Participants would have been randomly assigned to either VR-based vestibular rehab or conventional exercises. However, the study was withdrawn before enrolling anyone, so no data was collected.
