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 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 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 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 tracks people who have brief episodes of vertigo or dizziness that may be caused by temporary reduced blood flow to the back of the brain. The goal is to better understand these episodes and improve diagnosis and treatment.
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.
This study looks at bone density (bone strength) in people with Meniere's disease. It may help understand how the condition affects bones and guide future care.
