Mental imagery plus balance rehab for dizziness in young adults
Part of Ear, nose & throat clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with a balance problem in only one inner ear (unilateral vestibular hypofunction).
- You are between 20 and 40 years old.
- A doctor found that your head thrust test (a quick head-turn test) is abnormal.
- You have a score of 16 or more on the Dizziness Handicap Inventory (DHI), meaning dizziness affects your daily life.
- You have a score between 11 and 30 on the Vertigo Symptom Scale (VSS), meaning you have moderate dizziness symptoms.
