MRI study of balance disorders in older adults
Part of Brain & nervous system, Ear, nose & throat clinical trials.
This study uses MRI scans to look at the brain and inner ear in people with balance problems called bilateral vestibulopathy and presbyvestibulopathy. It aims to understand risk factors and improve diagnosis.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 16 years or older.
- You have been diagnosed with bilateral vestibulopathy or presbyvestibulopathy (long-term dizziness and balance issues).
- You are willing to have an MRI scan and can follow study instructions.
- You are not currently taking certain medications for dizziness or mental health conditions.
- You do not have severe heart, lung, or other major health problems that could affect the study.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding.

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 compares CT/MRI imaging results (radiological lesions) with balance system function tests in people with bilateral vestibulopathy. The goal is to see whether changes seen on scans match how well your inner-ear/balance nerves are working, which could improve understanding and future treatment decisions.
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 combines cognitive training with motor exercises to see if it helps improve balance and reduce falls in older adults with mild cognitive impairment. You will do exercises and have MRI scans to check how your brain and body work together.
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 study looks at how multiple sclerosis affects balance and walking using brain scans (MRI) and walking tests. The goal is to create personalized balance exercises for people with mild disability to help improve their balance.
