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 study looks at a type of long-lasting dizziness called persistent postural-perceptual dizziness, which can happen after a bout of dizziness or balance problems. The goal is to better understand how common it is and how doctors can accurately recognize it, which may lead to better support and treatment.
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.
This study tests if a gentle device on the ear that stimulates a nerve can reduce pain and improve daily function for people with chronic widespread pain (like fibromyalgia). It may help you do everyday activities more easily.
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 if a gentle electrical stimulation near the ear (called tragus stimulation) can help with POTS symptoms, like dizziness and rapid heartbeat when standing. It aims to see if this non-invasive method can improve your daily life.
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.
