Helping diagnose vertigo patients faster
Part of Brain & nervous system, Ear, nose & throat clinical trials.
This trial looks at how well a decision tree helps diagnose vertigo in the emergency room. It compares the diagnoses made by medical students to those made by an ear, nose, and throat (ENT) doctor to see if the tool speeds up and improves accuracy.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are 18 years or older
- You had your first care from a medical student who used a specific decision tree to diagnose you
- An ENT doctor made a final diagnosis for you during the same hospital visit
- You have not objected to your medical data being used for research
- You do not have a long-term (chronic) inner ear balance problem

This study is for people who have brief episodes of dizziness or vertigo that might be caused by temporary blood flow problems in the back part of the brain (the vertebrobasilar system). It will follow participants over time to better understand and treat these episodes.
This trial tests whether a pair of AR glasses can help doctors check eye movements (nystagmus) in people with vertigo or dizziness. You would compare the new glasses with standard testing, and it might be more comfortable and wearable.
This study measures eye movements in people with sudden dizziness caused by inner ear or brain problems. It aims to help doctors tell the difference between these causes more accurately.
This trial tests special eye and head exercises designed to reduce vertigo and improve balance. It may help people aged 65–75 who have had chronic dizziness or a vestibular disorder for several months.
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.
This study tests a mobile app called VestAid that might help people with dizziness from a recent concussion or inner ear issue. If you have had dizziness for up to 30 days and meet a few health requirements, you may be able to join.
