Recovery after inner ear decompression sickness in divers
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study looks at how divers recover from Inner Ear Decompression Sickness (IEDS) and tries to find patterns that might predict recovery. If you are a diver who has had IEDS, your participation could help improve understanding and future treatments.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a diver 18 years or older.
- You have been diagnosed with Inner Ear Decompression Sickness (IEDS) within the last 10 years (for the retrospective study).
- You are stable enough to participate (no medical instability or unstable orthopedic problems).
- You do not have other nerve, sensory, or orthopedic conditions that affect your balance (for the healthy control group).

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at how breathing extra oxygen (hyperoxia) and the body’s immune response change after diving or when people need hyperbaric oxygen therapy. It may help doctors understand what to expect and how to manage recovery after a diving accident.
This trial looks at accidents from technical diving (using special gas mixes or rebreathers) in mainland France. It aims to understand what makes these accidents more serious, so doctors can better predict and prevent them.
This study tests how exercise before breathing pure oxygen affects the body, helping to prepare astronauts for spacewalks. It may also offer insights into preventing decompression sickness in divers and aviators.
This study looks at how nitrogen narcosis (a feeling like being drunk when diving deep) affects movement and balance in divers who have had an inner ear injury from diving. Healthy people and divers who recovered from an inner ear injury are both needed.
This study checks whether certain personal factors can predict who may get “immersion pulmonary edema,” a condition where fluid builds up in the lungs after water exposure and diving. If you’re a diver, your results may help tailor safety steps and reduce risk.
This trial studies how inner ear fluid swelling seen on MRI relates to symptoms like dizziness or hearing loss. It may help doctors better diagnose and treat balance disorders.
