VESTIBULAR DISEASES

This study tests a device that electrically stimulates the balance nerve to help people with severe, long-term dizziness and unsteadiness. Researchers will implant the device in up to 8 adults aged 22-90 whose balance problems did not improve with standard therapy. The goal is to…

This study tests a device that electrically stimulates the balance nerve to help older adults (ages 65-90) who suffer from chronic imbalance, unsteady walking, and blurry vision due to inner-ear balance loss. The implant aims to improve stability and quality of life. Fifteen part…

This study follows 32 adults with severe balance disorders caused by inner ear damage, including from certain antibiotics. Participants have already received a vestibular implant, a device that electrically stimulates the balance nerve. Researchers will measure improvements in wa…

This study tests whether vestibular therapy—exercises for the inner ear balance system—can reduce falls in people with Alzheimer's disease. About 100 older adults with mild to moderate Alzheimer's and balance problems will receive either the therapy or a control activity. Researc…

This study uses virtual reality to measure hand-eye coordination in children aged 7 to 17, both with and without chronic balance (vestibular) problems. The goal is to see if a VR-based test is reliable and fun for kids, and to better understand how the brain combines vision and b…
