Incremental Velocity Error as a New Treatment in Vestibular Rehabilitation (INVENT VPT) Trial: study protocol for a randomized controlled crossover trial
Abstract
A clinical pattern of damage to the auditory, visual, and vestibular sensorimotor systems, known as multi-sensory impairment, affects roughly 2% of the US population each year. Within the population of US military service members exposed to mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI), 15–44% will develop multi-sensory impairment following a mild traumatic brain injury. In the US civilian population, multi-sensory impairment-related symptoms are also a common sequela of damage to the vestibular system and affect ~ 300–500/100,000 population. Vestibular rehabilitation is recognized as a critical component of the management of multi-sensory impairment. Unfortunately, the current clinical practice guidelines for the delivery of vestibular rehabilitation are not evidence-based and primarily rely on expert opinion. The focus of this trial is gaze stability training, which represents the unique component of vestibular rehabilitation. The aim of the Incremental Velocity Error as a New Treatment in Vestibular Rehabilitation (INVENT VPT) trial is to assess the efficacy of a non-invasive, incremental vestibular adaptation training device for normalizing the response of the vestibulo-ocular reflex.
