Imaging findings and balance function in bilateral vestibulopathy
Part of Brain & nervous system, Ear, nose & throat clinical trials.
This study compares CT/MRI imaging results (radiological lesions) with balance system function tests in people with bilateral vestibulopathy. The goal is to see whether changes seen on scans match how well your inner-ear/balance nerves are working, which could improve understanding and future treatment decisions.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older
- Your test results must fit the Barany criteria for bilateral vestibulopathy (both sides affected)
- You may qualify if your balance reflex tests are reduced on one or more standard measures (video head impulse, caloric testing, or a rotating chair test)
- You must be able to safely have CT scans and MRI scans (no contraindications)
Quick eligibility check
Answer a few plain-language questions, based on this study's own requirements, to get a preliminary sense of fit.

This study looks at how a specific inherited gene change (the P51S COCH mutation) connects to hearing and balance symptoms over time. It may help researchers better predict who will develop symptoms and how they may progress.
This study tests a new device that may help restore balance for people with long-term dizziness from inner ear problems. The implant is placed surgically to stimulate the balance nerve.
This study looks at how the vestibular system (your balance and motion sensing) is involved in children’s thinking and movement. It compares typically developing children with children who have balance-related (vestibular) problems or certain neurodevelopmental conditions to understand what to expect and how development may differ.
This trial tests a special training program for infants with balance (vestibular) problems. It aims to help them improve their balance and motor skills, with or without hearing loss or a cochlear implant.
This study uses MRI scans to look at the brain and inner ear in people with balance problems called bilateral vestibulopathy and presbyvestibulopathy. It aims to understand risk factors and improve diagnosis.
This study looks at how hearing loss affects balance in children aged 3 to 10. It tests balance and inner ear function to help understand the connection between hearing and balance problems.
