Walking and Balance Changes in Long-Term Dizziness
Part of Ear, nose & throat clinical trials.
This study measures how dizziness and balance problems affect the way people walk and move. Researchers compare people with chronic vestibular disease (long-term inner ear or balance nerve problems) to healthy volunteers to understand these differences better.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Age between 18 and 65 years old
- For patient group: dizziness and/or balance problems lasting at least 1 year, diagnosed as vestibular dysfunction
- Able to stand and walk without a cane, walker, or other assistive device
- Able to see well enough to complete tests (with corrective glasses if needed)
- No recent leg surgery, serious leg injury, or major neurological disease that affects movement
- Able to understand instructions and complete walking and balance assessments

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at how the degree of dizziness relates to specific balance tests in people with a weak or underactive inner ear balance system (vestibular hypofunction). The goal is to better understand your condition and improve future treatments.
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.
This study looks at balance problems in people with Parkinson's disease. It uses simple tests to understand what causes trouble with standing and walking, which may help find better treatments.
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 looks at how people with normal health—and people with balance (vestibular) loss—perceive motion using their eyes and inner ear. You may help researchers understand how vision and balance systems work together.
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.
