MINDGAPS Study for Vestibular Hypofunction
This study, called MINDGAPS, is testing a new system to help people with vestibular hypofunction (problems with the inner ear that affect balance and cause dizziness). The system uses wearable sensors to measure your gaze (eye movements) and balance, and to help you stick to your vestibular exercises at home for 6 weeks. Researchers want to see if this system can improve your balance and reduce dizziness. You might be able to join if you are 40 or older, have dizziness or imbalance, can stand on your own, and have been diagnosed with peripheral vestibular hypofunction. The main goal is to see how your computerized dynamic visual acuity (a measure of how well you can see clearly while moving your head) changes over about 12 weeks.
- Study design
- This is an interventional study with a planned enrollment of 36 participants. It is a pilot feasibility study, meaning it's an early step to see if the intervention is safe and practical before a larger study.
- What's involved
- You would use the MINDGAPS system for a 6-week training period, which involves remote monitoring of your exercise adherence. Your computerized dynamic visual acuity will be measured through study completion, an average of 12 weeks.
- Compensation
- Not stated in the trial record.
- Follow-up
- Your computerized dynamic visual acuity will be measured through study completion, an average of 12 weeks.
