NCT ID NCT06893029
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether watching moving patterns (like a spinning disk or VR display) can help doctors objectively diagnose visually induced dizziness. Researchers will measure balance and symptoms in 240 people, including those with concussion-related dizziness, non-concussion dizziness, and healthy controls. The goal is to create a more accurate diagnostic tool for this common but hard-to-measure condition.
