Change from baseline, at 8 weeks and 6 months post-randomization
Meniere's Disease Outcomes Questionnaire (MDOQ)
Change from baseline, at 8 weeks and 6 months post-randomization
Visual Vertigo Analogue Scale (VVAS)
Change from baseline, at 8 weeks and 6 months post-randomization
Vestibular Activities and Participation Measure (VAP)
Change from baseline, at 8 weeks and 6 months post-randomization
Study Arms (2)
Group A: usual care (UC)
ACTIVE COMPARATORGroup A (UC) will receive conventional medications.
Group B: vestibular rehabilitation treatment (VRT)
EXPERIMENTALGroup B (VRT) will receive outpatient VRT in combination with home practice based on conventional treatment.
Interventions
Include anti-dizziness medications, diuretics, or hormone therapy.
Include comprehensive health education, fall prevention and lifestyle adjustments.
Encompass office-based sessions of vestibular rehabilitation treatment once weekly, supplemented by home-based exercises conducted two or three times daily for the remaining duration of the study.
