Summary

This trial aims to compare two devices for treating chronic Vestibular Migraines in adults. Participants will be enrolled for up to 50 days and will use one of the study devices as instructed.

Who is the study for?
Adults aged 18-75 with chronic Vestibular Migraines, also known as Migraine Associated Vertigo, can join this trial. They must have a physician's diagnosis of vertigo and be able to participate in virtual visits and keep daily diaries for up to 50 days.
What is being tested?
The SENSE-VM trial is testing two devices: the Otoband Experimental and the Otoband Sham. Participants will use one device over a period of time to see if it helps ease their migraine symptoms better than the other.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves non-invasive medical devices rather than drugs, side effects may include discomfort or skin irritation where the device is worn. Other potential side effects are not specified but should be minimal.
