WAVES for Mal de Debarquement Syndrome

NCT04612010 · Status: WITHDRAWN · Phase: EARLY_PHASE1 · Type: INTERVENTIONAL

Last updated 2023-05-09

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

This study will be recruiting individuals with Mal de Debarquement Syndrome (MdDS), a disorder caused by entrainment to oscillating motion that leads to persistent oscillating vertigo. The typical triggers for MdDS are sea and air travel. Prior studies on MdDS have shown that functional connectivity measured by both EEG and fMRI decreases when symptoms of MdDS improve. This study seeks to use asynchronous visual and auditory stimulation provided through a smart-phone app (WAVES) administered through virtual reality goggles to modulate the vertigo in MdDS with the hypothesis that these stimuli can desynchronize functional connectivity.

Conditions

  • Mal de Debarquement Syndrome

Interventions

DEVICE

WAVES (Wobble-oscillator Auditory/Visual Excitatory Stimulation)

An app-based stimulation program administered that provides desynchronizing visual and auditory stimulation. The frequency of the stimulation oscillates around the baseline frequency determined by EEG.
