Vestibular disorder

This study is testing an experimental device called a vestibular implant, which is surgically placed behind the ear to stimulate the balance nerve. The goal is to see if it can improve walking and balance in adults with long-term dizziness that hasn't improved with other treatmen…

This study follows 15 adults (ages 22–90) with severe, long-term balance disorders caused by inner ear damage. Participants have already received a vestibular implant, a device that electrically stimulates the balance nerve to help restore steadiness and clear vision during movem…

This study tests a vestibular implant in 15 older adults (ages 65-90) with chronic balance issues due to bilateral vestibular hypofunction. The implant electrically stimulates the inner ear to improve balance and vision. Researchers will measure changes in gait and eye reflexes o…

This study tests a vestibular implant, a device surgically placed in the inner ear to electrically stimulate balance nerves. It aims to improve balance, posture, and vision in up to 8 adults with bilateral vestibular hypofunction, a condition causing chronic dizziness and instabi…

Researchers at Gødstrup Hospital are studying whether balance and dizziness problems in young children come from the inner ear's balance system. The study includes 30 children aged 6 months to 10 years who have delayed gross motor development or dizziness and balance issues. Chil…

Researchers are studying how often children with sensorineural hearing loss also have problems with their balance system. The study enrolls 48 children aged 3 to 10 with hearing loss in one or both ears. Children complete questionnaires and a series of balance and inner-ear tests…

This study tests whether wearable augmented reality (AR) glasses can diagnose vertigo as accurately as standard eye-movement exams. About 200 adults with vertigo will try both methods during one visit. If successful, AR glasses could make vertigo assessment faster and more access…

This study tests a device called SWAN that guides people through head movements to reduce motion sickness and improve balance. It is for adults with inner ear disorders, motion sickness, or those recovering from vestibular schwannoma surgery. Participants use the device at home f…

This trial tests a wearable-sensor system called MINDGAPS that tracks eye and body movements during balance exercises. Researchers want to see if it can improve dizziness and stability in older adults with vestibular hypofunction — a common cause of falls. The study also checks w…

This study tests a new treatment called ACTIVE that combines counseling (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy) with balance exercises for people with mild traumatic brain injury. Researchers want to see if it helps reduce dizziness and anxiety better than standard balance therapy al…

This study tests a small, TENS-like device that sends a mild electric signal to improve balance and walking in older adults. Researchers will measure walking speed and stability in 120 participants aged 60 and older, as well as younger adults for comparison. Participants will wal…

This study tests whether a special belt that vibrates can help people with balance disorders walk better and feel more steady. Researchers will enroll 90 adults aged 18-80 who have balance issues from conditions like inner ear problems or ataxia. Participants will use the belt an…

This study tests whether virtual reality exercises can help people with balance problems caused by a weak inner ear on one side. 48 adults will be split into three groups: one doing standard balance exercises, one using VR, and one doing both. The goal is to see if VR can reduce …

This study tests whether vestibular therapy—a set of head-movement exercises done with a physical therapist—can reduce falls in people with Alzheimer's disease who also have inner-ear balance problems. About 100 participants aged 60 and older will receive either the therapy or st…

This trial explores whether physical activity, specifically walking in different visual environments, can improve the sense of self in people with schizophrenia, borderline personality disorder, or vestibular syndromes. Participants will complete walking sessions in three environ…

This study is building a large online registry of US adults who experience sinus, ear, dizziness, and headache symptoms, with or without a migraine diagnosis. Participants answer questions about their symptoms, how these affect daily life, and which treatments they have tried. Th…

This study investigates how balance and cognitive tasks—like walking while doing mental math—affect each other in older adults. Researchers will compare healthy seniors with those who have experienced dizziness or falls, using wearable sensors and cognitive tests. The goal is to …

This study looks at whether a vestibular implant (a device that helps with balance) can improve how people with severe inner ear damage perform tasks like staying upright, navigating, and thinking. About 20 people who already have the implant will be tested with it on and off, an…

This study looks at whether a balance exercise called IVA is safe and helpful for adults who have vision problems, with or without inner-ear balance issues. Researchers will compare two groups: people with vision problems only and those with both vision and inner-ear problems. Pa…

This study tests a virtual reality (VR) game to measure hand-eye coordination in children aged 7 to 17 with and without chronic balance (vestibular) disorders. Researchers want to see if the VR tasks are reliable and fun for kids, and how balance problems affect coordination. The…

This study explores whether very small, barely noticeable movements can help retrain the brain's balance system in people with inner ear problems. Researchers will test balance and motion sensitivity in 48 adults with certain balance disorders and healthy volunteers. The goal is …

This study aims to translate and test the Situational Vertigo Questionnaire (SVQ) in Turkish. The SVQ measures dizziness triggered by visual environments like supermarkets or driving. Researchers will check if the Turkish version is valid and reliable by comparing it with other d…

This study measures how well people with and without vestibular (balance) disease can sense motion through vision and balance. Researchers hope to learn how aging and disease change motion perception. About 300 healthy adults and patients with balance disorders will participate i…

This study looks at whether inner-ear balance (vestibular) problems make reading harder for children with hearing loss. Researchers will test 90 children, some with normal hearing and some with severe hearing loss, measuring their ability to see clearly during head movements and …
