VR4VPT Trial Summary

This trial will test whether VR and AR based physical therapy can help improve symptoms for people with vestibular disorders caused by mild traumatic brain injury.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for active duty service members aged 18-65 with mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) who need vestibular physical therapy. Participants must be able to walk unassisted, have normal or corrected vision, follow instructions, and tolerate wearing a safety harness and head-mounted display for an hour.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests if advanced VR and AR technologies improve balance and reduce symptoms in mTBI patients compared to conventional therapy. It involves three groups: one receiving standard treatment, another using a large-scale VR system called CAREN, and the third using mobile AR technology.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include discomfort from wearing headgear, dizziness or nausea due to virtual environments, fatigue from physical exercises, or possible disorientation post-therapy sessions.
