ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is investigating whether wearing special Boarding Ring glasses can help patients with vestibular neuritis recover more quickly from their symptoms. Vestibular neuritis is a condition that causes severe dizziness, a spinning sensation, and sometimes nausea, but it does not affect hearing. The study aims to see if these glasses can assist the body in adjusting and compensating for the balance issues caused by the condition.

To participate in this trial, you need to be an adult aged 65 to 74 who is experiencing continuous dizziness and has certain eye movements that indicate vestibular neuritis. You should not have a history of other types of vertigo, hearing loss, or certain eye movement disorders. If you join the study, you can expect to wear the glasses during the trial period and be monitored for changes in your symptoms. This research could be important for finding better treatments for dizziness related to vestibular neuritis.
