Virtual reality vs. standard therapy for dizziness and stress
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial compares virtual reality exercises, standard balance therapy, and muscle relaxation to see which best improves balance and reduces stress in people with a common dizziness condition called PPPD.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
