Study start date: January 15, 2025

Actual date on which the first participant was enrolled.

The study is exploring a new application called VestAid, which is designed to help people recover from dizziness. The goal is to see if using VestAid can provide the same or even quicker recovery compared to traditional methods of vestibular rehabilitation exercises. This is important because dizziness can significantly affect daily life, and finding more effective ways to manage it could improve the quality of life for many individuals. The study is targeting people who experience dizziness and are undergoing vestibular rehabilitation. Participants in the study will use the VestAid application, which may involve following specific exercises or guidelines through the app. The effectiveness of VestAid will be compared to usual care methods, assessing how quickly and effectively participants recover from dizziness. The study does not specify the method of application, such as whether exercises are guided through visual or audio instructions, but it aims to determine whether this digital approach can match or exceed standard treatments in terms of recovery time and effectiveness.
