Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
The goal of this clinical trial is to preliminarily evaluate the use of electrical stimulation in diagnosing disorders with the vestibular system. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Can electrical vestibular stimulation combined with movement measurement be used to diagnose disorders of the vestibular system? * Can electrical stimulation provide treatment or rehabilitation opportunities for patients suffering from disorders of the vestibular system?

Arms and outcomes
Arms (1)
- type
- EXPERIMENTAL
- label
- EVS + measurement
- description
- The study composes of multiple interventions (1-3 min electrical vestibular stimulation and response measurement). All study participants will get the same interventions but in different randomized order.
- interventionNames
- Device: Active transcranial electrical vestibular stimulation (Active EVS)
- Device: Sham transcranial electrical vestibular stimulation (Sham EVS)
- Device: Control measurement
Primary outcomes (1)
- measure
- Changes in the frequency content of the movement response signals
- timeFrame
- From study appointment to the analysis of the results (up to 12 months)
- description
- Changes of the power in a frequency band of 0-20 Hz in the measured movement response signals during active electrical vestibular stimulation (EVS). The measured movement response signals are force plate Center of Pressure (CoP) and 3-axis acceleration data from wearable acceleration sensors.
