Brandt-Daroff exercises for vertigo in older adults
Part of Brain & nervous system, Ear, nose & throat clinical trials.
This study tests a simple set of head-and-body movements, called Brandt-Daroff exercises, to see if they help older adults with vertigo feel less dizzy and improve their balance. If you are 65 or older and have moderate vertigo, this trial might help you find relief.
