VestAid App for Dizziness After Mild Traumatic Brain Injury

This study is testing if the VestAid app, a tablet-based system designed to help with balance and dizziness, works as well as or better than standard physical therapy for people with dizziness after a mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) or vestibular disease (inner ear balance problems). Researchers will compare the VestAid app to standard vestibular rehabilitation exercises like gaze stabilization. To join, you need to be between 18 and 60 years old, have good vision and hearing, and have internet access at home. The main goal is to see how much your dizziness improves over six weeks using a questionnaire called the Dizziness Handicap Inventory (DHI). The current recruitment status is unclear.
