Summary

This study tested whether a wearable device that delivers gentle vibrations through the skull can improve balance and reduce motion sickness in people with vestibular migraine. Fifty-one participants wore the device while sitting in a rotating chair and answered questions about their symptoms. Researchers compared results when the device was on versus off to see if it made a difference.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Otolith Labs device (wearable device providing bone-conducted stimulation)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a non-drug way to ease dizziness and motion sickness in vestibular migraine.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study (51 people) testing only short-term effects in a lab. It does not prove long-term benefit or real-world use.
