Summary

This study tested whether adding virtual reality (VR) exercises to standard home balance training helps people with vestibular migraine, a condition causing dizziness and balance problems. Forty adults with the condition were split into two groups: one did only home exercises, the other added clinic-based VR sessions. After four weeks, researchers measured balance, dizziness, and quality of life to see if VR provided extra benefits.
