Summary

This research study aims to determine whether low-frequency transcranial vibrations can act as a possible treatment for the dizziness and nausea often associated with vestibular physical therapy.

Conditions

Interventions

DEVICE

Transcranial vibrating system

The transcranial vibrating system (TCVS) will be worn by participants performing vestibular physical therapy (PT) exercises. The TCVS vibrating element will be placed against the skull, preferably over the mastoid bone behind the ear and will be hold in place by a headband. The TCVS will be worn during the whole time of the vestibular PT exercise (30 minutes) or less if the participant is unable to complete its exercises. The TCVS will be set at an optimal vibration frequency as determined in a previous study.

DEVICE

Transcranial vibrating system sham

A transcranial vibrating system (TCVS) sham set at an irrelevant vibrating frequency will be worn by participants performing vestibular physical therapy (PT) exercises in arm 2. The TCVS sham vibrating element will be placed against the skull, preferably over the mastoid bone behind the ear and will be hold in place by a headband. The TCVS sham will be worn during the whole time of the vestibular PT exercise (30 minutes) or less if the participant is unable to complete its exercises.
