Clinical Trial Summary

Vestibular disorders are disabling conditions that can have a major effect on functioning especially on daily activities and social participation. Latest epidemiological studies estimate that as many as 35% of adults aged 40 years or older had experienced some form of vestibular dysfunction. Non invasive brain stimulation techniques such as repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) have been investigated as therapeutic interventions for various neurological disorders like motor deficits and balance disorders after various neurological deficits. The purpose of this study is to compare between rTMs stimulation and galvanic vestibular stimulation in patients with unilateral peripheral vestibular disorders.


Clinical Trial Description

A pilot study has been recruited to calculate sample size and determine rTMs protocol that will be utilized during the study were two protocols has been compared and according to pilot study results collaborated with literature review a established protocol has been utilized. The subjects of both genders with age 30 to 60 will be allocated randomly into three equal groups A, B and C. Group A Outcomes measure will include : VNG (videonystagmography), Dizziness handicapped inventory, Berg balance scale, Vestibular disorders activities of daily living scale(VADL). Assessment will be done before and after treatment sessions. ;
