Could virtual reality be the key to ending chronic dizziness?
NCT ID NCT07210840
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether virtual reality (VR) therapy works better than standard balance exercises for people with long-term dizziness. Researchers will enroll 40 adults aged 18-70 who have had dizziness for over 3 months due to inner ear problems. Participants will receive either traditional vestibular rehab or VR-based therapy to see which improves symptoms and quality of life more effectively.
