Incremental Vestibulo-ocular Reflex Adaptation As a Novel Treatment for Dizziness in People with Multiple Sclerosis

New dizziness treatment study for people with Multiple Sclerosis.

Phase N/A

People with Multiple Sclerosis (MS), a disease where the body's immune system attacks nerve coverings, often feel dizzy due to balance signal problems in their brain. This can make it hard to keep their eyes steady when they move their heads, called gaze instability. The study tests a new way to help with the dizziness using special eye exercises called gaze stabilization. This involves using a technology named StableEyes which helps people improve their eye stability gradually. It focuses on improving the vestibulo-ocular reflex (VOR), which helps keep vision clear when the head moves. Better VOR can reduce dizziness for people with MS.

  • Study duration and visits: Participants will perform daily exercises.
  • Compensation: Not specified, but treatments aim to improve life quality.
  • Risks: Possible discomfort during exercises, but it aims to improve dizziness.

To participate, you must have MS, speak English, and have balance issues. You can't join if you've had certain recent changes in health or treatments, or if you have specific eye or blood pressure problems. Pregnant individuals and those with certain medical conditions are also excluded.

FAQs

Learn more about clinical trials

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
