Predicting brain causes of dizziness in the ER
Part of Brain & nervous system, Ear, nose & throat clinical trials.
This study is observing patients who come to the emergency department with vertigo, dizziness, or unsteadiness. Researchers want to predict which of these symptoms are caused by a brain problem (central nervous system), helping doctors make fast and accurate decisions.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are having vertigo (spinning sensation), dizziness (lightheadedness), or unsteadiness (feeling off-balance) right now in the emergency department.
- You are 18 years of age or older.
- You can understand the study and agree to participate (give consent).
- You do NOT have dementia or other conditions that make you bedridden (unable to get out of bed) for reasons unrelated to these symptoms.
- You do NOT have obvious stroke symptoms that the emergency team already identified as the cause of your vertigo.

This trial tests whether having a physical therapist see you in the emergency room can help with dizziness. If successful, it could improve care for people with dizziness who go to the ER.
This study tracks people who have brief episodes of vertigo or dizziness that may be caused by temporary reduced blood flow to the back of the brain. The goal is to better understand these episodes and improve diagnosis and treatment.
This study looks at how people with dizziness from concussion or other causes (like vestibular migraine) react to visual motion. It tests balance during specific visual challenges to understand why dizziness happens.
This trial tests whether chewing gum helps reduce dizziness in people with a common inner-ear disorder (BPPV) who come to the emergency room. If you are already receiving standard dizziness medicine, chewing gum might make you feel better faster.
This study uses eye movement tests to help doctors tell apart different causes of sudden dizziness or vertigo. It may help improve diagnosis and treatment for people with acute vestibular syndrome.
This study tests whether a simple head movement called the Epley maneuver can help treat dizziness caused by a common inner ear condition (BPPV) in the emergency room. If you have short episodes of vertigo that last less than 2 minutes, you may be able to join.
