Water-Based Balance Therapy for Inner Ear Dizziness
Part of Brain & nervous system, Ear, nose & throat clinical trials.
This trial tests whether Ai Chi—a gentle water-based exercise program—can help people with inner ear problems that cause dizziness and balance trouble. You'll do controlled movements in warm water to see if it improves your balance and reduces dizziness over time.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 70 years old
- You have been diagnosed with one-sided inner ear weakness (unilateral peripheral vestibular hypofunction)
- You have had dizziness symptoms for at least 3 months
- You can safely do water exercises and are able to participate in all study visits
- You have reasonable balance (Berg Balance Scale score of 21 or higher)
- You are willing to join the study and follow the program

This study tests whether adding balance exercises (vestibular rehab) with dual-task training (like walking while talking) helps people with long-term dizziness feel steadier and fall less.
This study tests if mild, gentle head movements can help improve your balance and reduce dizziness. It is for people whose balance organs are not working well on one or both sides.
This study tests whether regular exercise in the water can improve how quickly and safely you recover your balance. You may do training and balance checks if you can safely stand and walk and feel comfortable in water.
This trial compares virtual reality exercises to standard balance therapy for people with chronic dizziness caused by inner ear problems. It aims to find out if the newer virtual reality approach works better at reducing dizziness and improving balance.
This trial tests whether a structured “vestibular perceptual learning” program can improve balance and your body’s balance signals. It may help people who have balance or dizziness challenges by measuring changes after training.
This trial tests whether an 8-week balance and movement program can help people with early-to-moderate Alzheimer’s who also have inner-ear (vestibular) balance loss. You and a caregiver may learn exercises and attend weekly visits, while researchers compare the results to an active control program.
