What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.

Summary

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. Children undergo hearing screening, questionnaires, and specialized balance tests that measure eye and neck muscle responses. The team follows the children after physiotherapy to see how their balance changes over time.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
vestibular and balance function tests, including video head impulse testing, vestibular evoked myogenic potentials, and computerized dynamic posturography
What this could lead to
If the tests reliably spot vestibular dysfunction in children, doctors could identify balance problems earlier and refer children to physiotherapy sooner.
What could go wrong
This is a small observational study of 30 children, so it cannot prove that vestibular dysfunction causes delayed motor development. The tests may also be hard to perform in young children, and results may not apply to all children with balance problems.

Who can take part

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.

Who is studied

Children in the age of 6 months to 10 years with delayed gross motor development and/or with dizziness/balance problems are recruited at The Pediatric Department at Gødstrup Hospital, Denmark. We intend to include all consecutive children referred to the Department within one year, and who attend at least one follow up. We estimate to include 30 patients.

Inclusion Criteria: * Children in the age of 6 months to 10 years * Delayed gross motor development and/or dizziness/balance problems. * Written informed consent from the parents. Exclusion Criteria: * Visual impairment to such a degree that the child is not able to maintain fixation on a dot one meter away. * Congenital nystagmus * Compromised eye muscle mobility * VEMP-electrode allergy * History of symptomatic head or neck trauma * Prescription of medicine which alters vestibular outputs (for instance sedative antihistamines)
