Study Summary

This trial is a prospective, single-center, interventional study of the VertiGONE goggle in the treatment of BPPV. The study will enroll 100 subjects who will be randomized to either the VertiGONE goggle group or the control group. The primary outcome measure will be the resolution of vertigo, as measured by the Dizziness Handicap Inventory (DHI).

Who is the study for?
This trial is for people aged 30-80 with Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV), who have had symptoms for at least 3 months. Participants must be able to give informed consent, stay in the clinic for treatment and follow-ups, and have good neck flexibility to perform specific head movements.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests two versions of a goggle that provides visual feedback during the Epley maneuver—a technique used to treat BPPV by repositioning particles in the inner ear. The goal is to see if better accuracy improves vertigo resolution.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves non-invasive goggles designed to guide a physical maneuver without medication, side effects are minimal but may include temporary dizziness or discomfort from performing the Epley maneuver.

Frequently Asked Questions

These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.

Does this medical study accept participants aged 70 and above?

"This medical trial is seeking applicants aged between 30 to 80. For those under 18 and above 65, there are 3 trials for the former and 31 trials for the latter."

Answered by AI

Might I be eligible to participate in this clinical investigation?

"This clinical trial seeks 60 individuals aged 30-80 with vertigo. It is a requirement that the participants are either elderly (i.e., first symptom occurred more than one year prior) or recently diagnosed (more than 3 months duration of symptoms). The patient must have adequate cervical flexibility to allow for performance of the Epley maneuver and be willing to provide formal consent, remain in the clinic during treatment and follow up visits."

Answered by AI

Would any individuals be welcome to join this research endeavor?

"Indications on clinicaltrials.gov suggest that this particular medical study is not actively enrolling patients at present, having been first posted in 2006 and last updated in 2008. Thankfully, there are 32 other trials currently recruiting for participants."
