Summary

To investigate the efficacy of vestibular rehabilitation treatment on unsteadiness after intratympanic gentamicin in patients with Meniere's disease.

Detailed description

Previous studies have generally focused on the efficacy of VRT for Meniere's disease, with little attention paid to the effect of VRT on MD patients who still have vestibular dysfunction even after intratympanic gentamicin treatment. The aim of this study is to compare the efficacy of VRT with usual care in MD patients who experience persistence of unsteadiness 1 month after intratympanic gentamicin treatment, in order to understand whether VR has a positive impact on balance maintenance and vertigo control in MD patients.
