Electrical stimulation for Meniere's disease symptoms
Part of Ear, nose & throat clinical trials.
This trial tests if a mild electrical current applied behind the ear can reduce dizziness and hearing problems in people with Meniere's disease. It may help those who still get vertigo attacks despite taking standard medications.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have Meniere's disease with dizziness as your main symptom.
- Your hearing loss is mostly in the low to middle frequencies (250 to 1000 Hz).
- Your average hearing level in both ears at certain pitches is not worse than moderate (65 dB HL).
- You've had at least one vertigo attack in the last 6 months.
- You have been off other dizziness medications for at least 2 months before joining.
- You don't have other ear conditions, serious health problems, or implanted devices like a pacemaker.

This research study investigates the genetic and biological factors that cause Menière's disease—a condition affecting the inner ear that causes dizziness, hearing loss, and ear fullness. By studying these factors, researchers hope to better understand why some patients experience different symptoms and potentially improve future treatments.
This study follows adults with hearing instability to better understand what causes it, measure it in new ways, and look for potential treatment targets. If you qualify, you may get hearing and balance-related testing (including scans) over a period of time.
This trial tests if a mild electrical stimulation to the inner ear can reduce dizziness and migraine symptoms. It involves six short sessions over two weeks.
This Phase 4 study tests whether migraine-type medications can help people with active or frequent Meniere’s disease. If you have symptoms like inner-ear episodes, the trial may help find a better way to control them.
This study uses a weak electrical current to test how well your inner ear balance system works. It may help people with certain inner ear conditions like vestibular schwannoma or vestibular neuritis.
This trial tests if laser acupuncture can help people with Meniere disease, a condition that causes dizziness, hearing loss, and ringing in the ears. It compares laser acupuncture to a placebo to see if it reduces symptoms.
