An interventional study of Caloric test and Measurement of the speed of Nystagmus in Vestibular Neuritis, sponsored by University Hospital, Brest. Recruiting at 2 sites in France. Open to participants aged 18 Years and older. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2026-03-19.
Sponsored by University Hospital, Brest · Not applicable, Interventional, and Other
Vestibular neuritis is a brutal and continuous dizzying syndrome of peripheral (vestibular) origin without cochlear or other associated involvement. Specifically, vestibular neuritis is inflammation of the nerve that innervates the vestibular canals (the inner ear). It is characterized by the sudden onset of intense and prolonged vertigo accompanied by postural imbalance, nausea and vomiting, without hearing impairment or other neurological symptoms. Vestibular neuritis is the second cause of peripheral vertigo after benign paroxysmal positional vertigo. It represents approximately 7% of patients consulting for vertigo. The purpose of this study is to evaluate if wearing Boarding Ring glasses can be accelerated vestibular compensation.
34 studies on the registry are indexed under Vestibular Neuronitis; 4 are open to participants now.
This study's planned enrollment of 51 is close to the median of 50 across 27 interventional studies indexed under Vestibular Neuronitis.

Lying, patientwill be placed so that he can introduce water (hot then cold) into his external ear canal. It is the reaction of the vestibular system (sensory organ responsible for balance) which is then measured with a helmet placed over his eyes and which measures the nystagmus (movement of the eye) which reflects vestibular activity.
Also known as: Barany test
A helmet with an infrared camera will be placed in front of patient eyes. This will allow visualizing on screen and measuring eye movements spontaneous or induced in the dark by various tests.
The patient will be asked to trample on the spot (30 steps) with the indexes pointed forward. In the event of vestibular asymmetry, the patient turns at a varying angle to the right or to the left. This will then measure what is called the angle of deflection of the fukuda.
there are 3 degrees: * Degree I: nystagmus that exists only when the eyes are turned to the right. * Degree II: also exists when the eyes are to the right or to the front. * Degree Ill: exists when the eyes are on the right, front, or left
Handicap Scale for Balance Disorders and Vertigo
European Vertigo Assessment Questionnaire
visual analog scale of anxiety
Variation of the angle of deviation at the Fukuda test between J0 and J7 (value at J0 minus value at J7).
Time frame: 7 day
Speed of nystagmus
Time frame: 1 year
Alexander's degree of nystagmus
Measure of the degree of intensity of nystagmus. There are 3 degrees : * Degree I: nystagmus which exists only when the eyes are turned to the right. * Degree II: also exists when the eyes are to the right or to the front. * Degree Ill: exists when the eyes are on the right, front, or left.
Time frame: 1 year
Duration of hospitalization (for hospitalized patients)
Time frame: 1 year
Anxiety visual analog scale
0 = no anxiety, 10 = maximum anxiety imaginable
Time frame: 1 year
Handicap related to Balance Disorders and Vertigo scale (EHTEV questionnaire)
It helps to determine the physical, emotional and functional difficulties experienced in everyday life. EHTEV questionnaire is scored on 100 points. The physical score from 0 to 28 points, the emotional score from 0 to 36 points and the functional score from 0 to 36 points. ( 0 = no difficulty).
Time frame: 1 year
European Vertigo Evaluation Scale (EEV questionnaire)
Makes it possible to quantify vertigo and the associated vestibular symptoms and to monitor their evolution. EEV questionnaire is scored on 20 points (0 = no symptoms, 20 = maximum symptoms)
Time frame: 1 year
Vestibular deficit at caloric tests
measures 7of nystagmus (= fluttering of the eye) which reflects vestibular activity
Time frame: 1 year
Variation from J0 of the angle of deviation at the Fukuda measured at J14, M1, M3, M6, M12
Time frame: 1 year
