INVENT VPT Trial: Incremental Velocity Error as a New Treatment in Vestibular Rehabilitation

Abstract

The purpose of this clinical trial is to compare traditional measures of vestibular rehabilitation (VPT) against a novel device (IVE) developed by the PI (Schubert) that has been shown to improve vestibulo-ocular reflex (VOR) function. We will examine critical dosing related questions in delivering vestibular rehabilitation for active duty service members with mild traumatic brain injury and civilians with vestibular hypofunction - both of which will be treated for rehabilitation given symptoms related to having a vestibular disorder. To date, we have secured local IRB approval (Johns Hopkins) and are awaiting final HRPO approval to begin data collection. We have secured FDA classification as a non-significant risk study, have developed the procedures manual, and have all necessary equipment to begin.
