Balance exercises for autistic children with inner ear issues
Treatments studied
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests whether specific balance exercises, called Cawthorne Cooksey exercises, can help improve balance in autistic children who have a problem with their inner ear (vestibular hypofunction). If your child has mild to moderate autism and some balance challenges, this trial might be a good fit.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child is between 7 and 15 years old
- Your child has been diagnosed with mild to moderate autism
- Your child has a problem with the inner ear that affects balance (vestibular hypofunction)
- Your child can understand simple instructions and communicate
- Your child does not have an ear infection or certain other inner ear conditions

This study tests whether adding mental imagery (picturing movements in your mind) to standard balance exercises can help young adults with a one-sided inner ear balance problem feel less dizzy and improve their balance.
This trial tests if virtual reality-based optokinetic stimulation can help people with balance problems caused by reduced function in one inner ear. It may offer a new way to retrain your balance system.
This study tests whether a structured exercise program can improve core autism symptoms, thinking skills, and brain function in children aged 3–9 years with autism. It may help families looking for non-drug ways to support their child's development.
This study uses a virtual reality system to test how children with autism balance. It may help understand movement challenges and find better ways to support them.
This trial tests whether SWOC activities (strengthening, walking, and coordination exercises) can improve balance, walking, and endurance in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). It may help kids aged 8–12 who have mild balance issues.
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.
