About this study

Occurrence of cerebrovascular diseases, particularly of cerebral small vessel disease (SVD), appears to play some role in the development of gait and balance impairment . Beside small vessel disease , stroke is one of the most common cause of long-term adult disability leading to cognitive and motor function impairments. Particularly, gait and balance disorders that may contribute to immobility and falls.

The design of personalized rehabilitation protocols, focused on the recovery of dynamic balance ability would be fundamental to reduce these deficits and consequently, the risk of falling, thus improving patients' quality of life. Vestibular rehabilitation therapy (VRT) is an exercise-based treatment program designed to promote vestibular adaptation and substitution. The goals of VRT are to enhance gaze stability, to enhance postural stability, to improve vertigo, and to improve activities of daily living. VRT facilitates vestibular recovery mechanisms: vestibular adaptation, substitution by the other eye-movement systems, substitution by vision, somatosensory cues, other postural strategies, and habituation .

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Vestibular Rehabilitation Therapy in people with Brain Vascular Insult, run by Sohag University at 1 site in Egypt.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 2 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 16 Sep 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Egypt. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Marwa N Fahmy, residant (01018371517, marwanasser@med.sohag.edu.eg), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Percentage of change in balance function (time frame: 3 months after the end of Vestibular rehabilitation therapy). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT05543473, which also lists 4 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 16 Sep 2022.
