NCT ID NCT03846830
First seen Nov 12, 2025
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.
