Summary

This trial is a prospective, single-center, interventional study of the VertiGONE goggle in the treatment of BPPV. The study will enroll 100 subjects who will be randomized to either the VertiGONE goggle group or the control group. The primary outcome measure will be the resolution of vertigo, as measured by the Dizziness Handicap Inventory (DHI).

Who is the study for?
This trial is for people aged 30-80 with Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV), who have had symptoms for at least 3 months. Participants must be able to give informed consent, stay in the clinic for treatment and follow-ups, and have good neck flexibility to perform specific head movements.
What is being tested?
The study tests two versions of a goggle that provides visual feedback during the Epley maneuver—a technique used to treat BPPV by repositioning particles in the inner ear. The goal is to see if better accuracy improves vertigo resolution.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves non-invasive goggles designed to guide a physical maneuver without medication, side effects are minimal but may include temporary dizziness or discomfort from performing the Epley maneuver.
