Can Brandt-Daroff exercises help older adults with vertigo?
Part of Brain & nervous system, Ear, nose & throat clinical trials.
This study tests if Brandt-Daroff exercises (simple head and body movements) can reduce vertigo symptoms in adults 65 and older. It may help if you have been diagnosed with vertigo by a neurologist and have moderate difficulty due to it.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
