Two rotating chairs for diagnosing vertigo
Part of Brain & nervous system, Ear, nose & throat clinical trials.
This study compares two rotating chairs used to diagnose benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV), a common cause of dizziness. If you have typical vertigo symptoms, this trial may help find the best way to diagnose your condition.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be at least 18 years old.
- You must have a history of typical BPPV symptoms, like brief spinning sensations with head movement.
- You must be able to complete the full diagnostic test in both rotary chairs.
- You must not have taken first-generation antihistamines (like diphenhydramine) in the past 7 days.
- You must not have taken benzodiazepines (like diazepam) in the past 7 days.
- You must have no known cerebral aneurysm, recent cerebral hemorrhage, and your weight must be under 150 kg (about 330 lbs).

This trial compares two standard head movement exercises to treat a common cause of dizziness from inner ear crystals. Both maneuvers are designed to move the crystals back to where they belong, and the study looks at which is more effective.
This study tests whether a simple head movement called the Epley maneuver can help treat dizziness caused by a common inner ear condition (BPPV) in the emergency room. If you have short episodes of vertigo that last less than 2 minutes, you may be able to join.
This study is looking at whether dizziness and balance problems in older adults are caused by BPPV (tiny crystals in the inner ear). If you qualify, you may be diagnosed with simple head movements.
This study looks at whether people with BPPV (a type of vertigo triggered by head movement) have lower vitamin D levels than those who don't have vertigo. Your participation may help clarify if vitamin D plays a role in BPPV.
This trial tests a new way to treat a common inner ear condition called BPPV that hasn't improved with standard head maneuvers. It aims to help people whose dizziness keeps coming back.
This study tests whether head acupuncture can help with lingering symptoms (like unsteadiness or discomfort) that sometimes remain after a successful repositioning procedure for BPPV, a common cause of vertigo. If you feel better but not fully steady, this treatment might help.
