Balance therapy for people with early-to-moderate Alzheimer’s
Part of Brain & nervous system, Ear, nose & throat, Mental health clinical trials.
This trial tests whether an 8-week balance and movement program can help people with early-to-moderate Alzheimer’s who also have inner-ear (vestibular) balance loss. You and a caregiver may learn exercises and attend weekly visits, while researchers compare the results to an active control program.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have Alzheimer’s diagnosed as mild to moderate (Clinical Dementia Rating, CDR 0.5 to 2).
- You are age 60 or older.
- You have confirmed inner-ear balance problems on a vestibular test in both ears.
- You can do the study tasks: balance and walking tests, thinking tests, and follow an 8-week exercise plan.
- You (or your study team) have a caregiver who spends at least 10 hours per week with you and can join study steps like text messaging.
- You are not using daily “balance-slowing” medicines like anti-histamines or benzodiazepines (unless your team says it’s okay).

This study tests a home-based balance training program using a computer or tablet. It aims to improve balance and reduce falls in people with balance issues from stroke, mild memory problems, inner ear disorders, or long COVID.
This study uses virtual reality tasks to understand and compare balance and movement in children with long-term inner-ear (vestibular) problems versus those without. It may help doctors learn what supports best balance and safety during daily activities.
This trial tests whether a structured “vestibular perceptual learning” program can improve balance and your body’s balance signals. It may help people who have balance or dizziness challenges by measuring changes after training.
This study tests if mild, gentle head movements can help improve your balance and reduce dizziness. It is for people whose balance organs are not working well on one or both sides.
This study tests whether a virtual reality balance-training program improves how well people control their posture and respond to sudden balance challenges. You would do standing balance tests and training sessions with head and weight-shift movements.
This study tests a home-based balance and thinking exercise program delivered through a computer or tablet, designed to help people with balance issues from stroke, mild cognitive impairment, vestibular disorders, or long COVID. The goal is to reduce fall risk and improve steadiness.
