U.S., June 5 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07627087) titled 'Spatial Orientation, Navigation, and Neuropsychologic Function in Patients With Vestibular Implant' on May 30.
Brief Summary: The vestibular system, located in the inner ear, provides information to the brain information about how head acceleration and orientation relative to gravity. Damage to the vestibular system is usually permanent and can contribute to a lower quality of life. The goal of this research is to to examine how vestibular implants (VI) may improve performance of cognitive tasks in patients with severe vestibular damage. These higher-level cognitive behaviors include (1) orientation relative to gravity, (2) navigatio...
