First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026

Summary

This study will test whether a 10-minute virtual reality session can change balance and motion sickness in people with multiple sclerosis (MS). Researchers will compare 30 adults with and without MS, measuring sway before and after the VR stimulation. The goal is to learn how central vestibular dysfunction might affect these responses.
