NCT ID NCT06500975
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
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 movement. Researchers will measure improvements in walking, balance, and quality of life over four years.
