What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
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.

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 Results may not be published yet.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.

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.

Summary

This study tested whether adding virtual reality (VR) exercises to standard home balance training helps people with vestibular migraine, a condition causing dizziness and balance problems. Forty adults with the condition were split into two groups: one did only home exercises, the other added clinic-based VR sessions. After four weeks, researchers measured balance, dizziness, and quality of life to see if VR provided extra benefits.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
virtual reality-based vestibular rehabilitation
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a more effective, non-drug way to reduce dizziness and improve balance for people with vestibular migraine.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with only 40 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The added benefit of VR over standard exercises is uncertain.
