Gentle electrical stimulation for dizziness and migraine
Part of Brain & nervous system, Ear, nose & throat clinical trials.
This study tests a new, non-invasive treatment that uses a small electrical device to stimulate the nerves behind the ear. It may help reduce dizziness and migraine symptoms in people who have vestibular migraine, a type of migraine linked to balance problems.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with vestibular migraine by a doctor.
- You have had at least one episode of dizziness or vertigo in the past month.
- You are willing to attend 6 treatment sessions over 2 weeks and complete questionnaires and tests.
- You can stand on your own for at least 1 minute and walk 25 feet (about 8 meters) without help.
- You do not have other causes of dizziness like Meniere's disease or BPPV, and you do not have a history of seizures or an implanted device like a pacemaker.

This study will track how current treatments work for adults with vestibular migraine, a condition where migraine causes dizziness and balance problems. It may help doctors learn which options help most in everyday life.
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 mild electrical stimulation of the inner ear (vestibular system) can help improve balance and walking. It may be a good fit if you have a condition like vertigo, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, or concussion-related balance issues.
This study uses a weak electrical current to test how well your inner ear balance system works. It may help people with certain inner ear conditions like vestibular schwannoma or vestibular neuritis.
This trial tests if a portable electric stimulation device can help improve balance and reduce dizziness in people recovering from a concussion. If you have had ongoing imbalance for at least 4-6 weeks, this study may help you feel steadier.
This study uses a simple, non-invasive test (video head impulse test) to measure how well your inner ear balance system works. The goal is to better understand vestibular migraine and help improve diagnosis and treatment.
