AR glasses may revolutionize vertigo diagnosis
NCT ID NCT07238387
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 10, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
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 accessible.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Adults ≥18 years with vertigo/dizziness suggestive of a central or peripheral vestibular disorder. * Able to complete both AR-based and conventional oculomotor testing during the same visit (with \~30-minute washout). * Provide written informed consent. * Adequate vision for eye-tracking and calibration (e.g., corrected visual acuity ≥20/40 in each eye). * Willing and able to return for the follow-up visit. Exclusion Criteria: * Use of vestibular-suppressant medications within 24 hours prior to testing (e.g., benzodiazepines, antihistamines, anticholinergics). * Ocular conditions that would interfere with reliable eye tracking (e.g., corrected visual acuity \<20/40, dense cataract, severe ptosis/strabismus, active ocular infection/inflammation). * History of photosensitive epilepsy or seizure disorder triggered by visual stimuli. * Severe motion sickness/cybersickness or inability to tolerate the AR headset. * Significant cognitive impairment or psychiatric condition precluding informed consent or protocol compliance. * Pregnant or breastfeeding (per investigator judgment and IRB policy). * Any other condition that, in the investigator's opinion, would make participation unsafe or confound study results.
