Understanding Genes and Biology in Menière's Disease
Part of Brain & nervous system, Ear, nose & throat clinical trials.
This research study investigates the genetic and biological factors that cause Menière's disease—a condition affecting the inner ear that causes dizziness, hearing loss, and ear fullness. By studying these factors, researchers hope to better understand why some patients experience different symptoms and potentially improve future treatments.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with definite Menière's disease (confirmed dizziness attacks, hearing loss, and ear fullness)
- You have not had surgery on your ear for Menière's disease
- You have not received steroid injections directly into your middle ear
- You have not received gentamicin injections directly into your ear (an antibiotic sometimes used to treat severe cases)

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests if a mild electrical current applied behind the ear can reduce dizziness and hearing problems in people with Meniere's disease. It may help those who still get vertigo attacks despite taking standard medications.
This study follows adults with hearing instability to better understand what causes it, measure it in new ways, and look for potential treatment targets. If you qualify, you may get hearing and balance-related testing (including scans) over a period of time.
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 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 observes how vestibular migraine is treated in real-life Chinese clinical practice. It may help researchers understand which treatments work best for people with this condition.
This Phase 3 study compares injections of steroid medicine into the ear versus a dummy (placebo) injection to see if it reduces vertigo attacks in people with Ménière’s disease. It may help by improving balance symptoms and reducing how often attacks happen.
