ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is focused on helping people who experience Persistent Postural Perceptual Dizziness (PPPD), a condition that causes ongoing balance problems and dizziness. The study aims to see how effective a specific type of therapy, called vestibular rehabilitation, is in improving balance function for those affected.

To participate in this trial, individuals should be between 18 and 65 years old and be willing to undergo the rehabilitation therapy. They should not have any serious neurological, ear, or psychiatric disorders that could interfere with the treatment results. Participants can expect to engage in repeated sessions of balance therapy, which may help reduce their dizziness and improve their overall stability. It's important to note that this trial is not yet recruiting participants, so it will be a while before anyone can join.
