Summary

This study tested a new device called Incremental Velocity Error (IVE) that uses a headband to help retrain the brain's balance system. It compared the device to standard eye and head exercises in 24 adults with dizziness from mild traumatic brain injury or inner-ear nerve damage. The goal was to see if the device could improve the reflex that keeps your eyes steady when you move your head.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Incremental Velocity Error (IVE) device
What this could lead to
If it works, this device could offer a more effective way to improve balance and reduce dizziness for people with mild brain injury or inner-ear problems.
What could go wrong
This was a small, early study with only 24 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The device is not yet proven to be better than standard therapy.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * Greater than or equal to 18 years old * Service members with mTBI and civilian patients with vestibular hypofunction, both of which reports vestibular symptoms (i.e. dizziness, imbalance). Exclusion Criteria: * Any subjects with a self-reported history of significant ophthalmic, neuromuscular, cardiovascular (except hypertension), renal/electrolyte and psychiatric disorders * Those with uncontrolled severe hypertension (systolic BP of \>200 mm Hg and/or a diastolic BP of \> 110 mmHg at rest) * Those with a recent history of alcohol and/or drug abuse within the past 6 months
