Vestibular Rehabilitation App for Dizziness After Mild Traumatic Brain Injury

This study is looking at adults who experience dizziness after a mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI). It compares two ways of doing vestibular rehabilitation therapy (VRT), which are exercises to help with dizziness and balance. One group will do standard VRT exercises at home, and the other group will use a digital app called Health in Motion for their VRT exercises. The main goal is to see if using the digital app helps people improve their dizziness more than the standard home exercises. You might be able to join if you are at least 18 years old, have been diagnosed with an mTBI, and have documented dizziness or imbalance. The study will measure changes in dizziness using a questionnaire at 4 and 12 weeks to see how well the treatments work. The current status of the study is unclear.

Study design
This is a single-blind randomized controlled trial with 68 participants. Participants will be randomly assigned to either the standard home exercise group or the digital app exercise group.
What's involved
Participants will undergo a customized home exercise program under the supervision of a physical therapist. Assessments will be done at the beginning, at 4 weeks, and at 12 weeks.
Compensation
Not stated in the trial record.
Follow-up
Participants will have a 3-month follow-up assessment after treatment.

Eligibility criteria

Inclusion

at least 18 years of age,
diagnosis of mTBI,
documented dizziness (total DHI score ≥ 16) and/or imbalance (total functional gait assessment score \< 23/30 or \< age-referenced norms)

Exclusion

severe neurological disease (e.g., Parkinson's disease, neuropathy),
moderate to severe cognitive impairment (\< 23/30 on the Montreal Cognitive Assessment),
significant orthopedic issues that would impact mobility or ability to perform gaze stabilization exercises (e.g., significant cervical dysfunction or pain),
vision impairment (best-corrected visual acuity worse than 20/40 in the better eye), and
severe depression/anxiety (≥ 9 on the 4-item Patient health Questionnaire)

What this trial measures

  • Change from baseline in Dizziness on the Dizziness Handicap Inventory (DHI) at week four and week 12baseline, week 4, week 12

    The DHI is a self-report scale of the impact of dizziness on activities (Jacobson \& Newman, 1990). Total scores range from 0 (no handicap) to 100 (severe handicap).
