Home virtual reality therapy for vestibular problems by location
Part of Brain & nervous system, Ear, nose & throat, Infections, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study looks at how well a home-based virtual reality (VR) vestibular therapy works for people with ongoing (chronic) balance problems, and whether results differ based on where the problem is in the inner ear. It may help your care team understand who benefits most from VR therapy.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have a long-lasting (3+ months) balance disorder from the inner ear (not a central brain/spinal cause).
- Your diagnosis was confirmed with specific balance tests: caloric testing plus oVEMP or cVEMP showing reduced responses.
- A clinician has prescribed vestibular rehabilitation (balance/vestibular therapy).
- You have access to a smartphone (Android or iOS).

This study compares two types of balance training—Wii Fit exercises and standard vestibular rehab—to see which helps people with BPPV (a common cause of vertigo). If you have moderate BPPV, you may join to help improve your balance.
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 compares virtual reality exercises to standard balance therapy for people with chronic dizziness caused by inner ear problems. It aims to find out if the newer virtual reality approach works better at reducing dizziness and improving balance.
This trial tests if virtual reality-based optokinetic stimulation can help people with balance problems caused by reduced function in one inner ear. It may offer a new way to retrain your balance system.
This trial studies whether virtual reality (VR) exercises can help people recover movement and balance after surgery for a vestibular schwannoma. If you’re eligible, you may be asked to use VR as part of your rehabilitation program.
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.
