MINDGAPS Trial Summary

This trial will test a new intervention for improving vestibular function (balance) in older adults, to help prevent falls and other health problems.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for older adults who can stand on their own and have dizziness or balance problems due to vestibular hypofunction, confirmed by specific tests. It's not for those with blindness, neck spine disorders, certain artery issues, or eye movement problems caused by central nervous system dysfunction.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The study is testing a new intervention designed to improve vestibular function and reduce dizziness in older adults living in the community. The research will evaluate how well it works, its safety and feasibility, and whether people are likely to use it regularly.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Since this is a pilot study focusing on a non-drug intervention for balance improvement, detailed side effects aren't specified but may include discomfort or increased dizziness during initial use of the system.
