Wii Fit vs. Vestibular Rehab for Vertigo Balance
Part of Brain & nervous system, Ear, nose & throat clinical trials.
This study compares two types of balance training—Wii Fit exercises and standard vestibular rehab—to see which helps people with BPPV (a common cause of vertigo). If you have moderate BPPV, you may join to help improve your balance.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with a specific type of vertigo called BPPV.
- You are between 30 and 60 years old.
- You can stand and walk without help from another person.
- Your vertigo symptoms are moderate, measured by a special questionnaire (score 36-42).
- You have not had any ear surgeries, seizures, a pacemaker, a recent head injury, or other balance disorders.

This trial tests a new physical therapy program for people with persistent postural-perceptual dizziness (PPPD), a condition where dizziness is triggered by standing or moving. The program aims to reduce dizziness and improve daily function.
This trial tests whether a structured “vestibular perceptual learning” program can improve balance and your body’s balance signals. It may help people who have balance or dizziness challenges by measuring changes after training.
This study tests whether a virtual reality balance-training program improves how well people control their posture and respond to sudden balance challenges. You would do standing balance tests and training sessions with head and weight-shift movements.
This study tests whether using virtual reality (VR) games is better than traditional balance exercises for reducing dizziness. If you have long-lasting dizziness from an inner-ear problem, VR might make the exercises more engaging and effective.
This study tests a wearable sensor to measure how your body controls balance during walking and simple movements. It may help doctors better understand balance problems in older adults with dizziness or vestibular conditions, potentially improving future treatments.
This study tests if mild, gentle head movements can help improve your balance and reduce dizziness. It is for people whose balance organs are not working well on one or both sides.
