Nerve stimulation study for chronic dizziness
Part of Brain & nervous system, Ear, nose & throat clinical trials.
This study tests if a gentle, non-invasive nerve stimulation in the ear can help reduce chronic dizziness. It is for people with a specific type of dizziness called PPPD that has lasted at least 3 months.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 75 years old.
- You have been diagnosed with Persistent Postural-Perceptual Dizziness (PPPD), a type of chronic dizziness related to balance and perception.
- You have had persistent dizziness for at least 3 months, and you have at least one episode of dizziness getting worse every day during a 2-week check-in period.
- If you take any medications or therapies for dizziness, the dose has been stable for at least 4 weeks before the study starts.
- You do not have certain heart conditions, a history of fainting more than once in the past year, or neck surgery that could interfere with the nerve stimulation.

This trial compares virtual reality exercises, standard balance therapy, and muscle relaxation to see which best improves balance and reduces stress in people with a common dizziness condition called PPPD.
This trial tests if a device that stimulates the vagus nerve can reduce pain and improve daily activities for people with chronic widespread pain or fibromyalgia.
This trial tests if a mild electrical stimulation to the inner ear can reduce dizziness and migraine symptoms. It involves six short sessions over two weeks.
This study tests how reliably a small ear-stimulation device measures heart-rhythm patterns. Researchers want to see if the device gives consistent readings across multiple measurement sessions, which could help doctors monitor heart health in the future.
This study tests a type of nerve stimulation (vagus nerve) for Parkinson's disease. It compares a method that uses your breathing cycle to deliver stimulation versus standard stimulation. The goal is to see which works better for movement and non-movement symptoms.
This study tests a wearable sensor to measure how your body controls balance during walking and simple movements. It may help doctors better understand balance problems in older adults with dizziness or vestibular conditions, potentially improving future treatments.
