Virtual reality versus standard exercises for chronic dizziness
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be an adult aged 18 to 70.
- You've had dizziness for more than 3 months caused by an inner-ear problem (like vestibular neuritis, BPPV, or vestibular hypofunction).
- You do not have certain nervous system disorders (like multiple sclerosis, stroke, or cerebellar ataxia).
- You are not seriously visually impaired.
- You can move safely to do rehab exercises and can follow instructions.

This study tests whether virtual reality and biofeedback (a way to learn to control your body's responses) can help reduce dizziness in teens. It's for teens with chronic dizziness who haven't tried these treatments before.
This study tests whether special head and eye exercises can reduce vertigo (a spinning feeling) and dizziness in older adults. It may help if you have had balance problems for several months.
This study uses virtual reality tasks to understand and compare balance and movement in children with long-term inner-ear (vestibular) problems versus those without. It may help doctors learn what supports best balance and safety during daily activities.
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 adding balance exercises (vestibular rehab) with dual-task training (like walking while talking) helps people with long-term dizziness feel steadier and fall less.
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.
