70 patients with peripheral vestibular disorders will be included in the study. Half of the subjects will receive vestibular rehabilitation exercises and the other half will receive additional cervical exercises. Results from the two groups will be compared.
70 patients with a diagnosis of peripheral vestibular disease will be enrolled in the study. Patient selection will be carried out in the physiatry, otorhinolaryngology and neurology outpatient clinics of our university hospital. Eligible patients will be informed about the study and those that accept to take part in the study will be referred to an investigator for history taking and physical examination. Demographic data, medical history and examination findings will be recorded. After initial assessment, all patients will receive a short education regarding vestibular exercises that they will be asked to do at home. A second investigator will be responsible for the randomization of subjects into two groups according to a computer generated randomization table and that same investigator will prescribe the second group additional cervical exercises to do in addition to the vestibular rehabilitation exercises.
After one months, patients will be reassessed and their measurements will be recorded. Statistical analyses will be carried out to compare the outcome scores of the two groups.

Change from baseline The activities-specific balance confidence (ABC) scale at 4 weeks
A questionnaire that measures an individual's confidence during ambulatory activities. The scale is scored from 0 to 100. 100 indicates better outcome.
Time frame: Baseline and 4th week visit
Change from baseline Dizziness handicap inventory at 4 weeks
A 25-item self-report questionnaire that quantifies the impact of dizziness on daily life by measuring self-perceived handicap. The scale is scored from 0 to 100. 100 indicates better outcome.
Time frame: Baseline and 4th week visit
Change from baseline Gait speed at 4 weeks
Gait speed is the time one takes to walk a specified distance on level surfaces over a short distance. Gait speed has different reference values according to age and sex.
Time frame: Baseline and 4th week visit
Change from baseline Dynamic gait index at 4 weeks
An inventory that assesses individual's ability to modify balance while walking in the presence of external demands. Highest possible score is 24 points and lower scores indicate worse outcome.
Time frame: Baseline and 4th week visit
Change from baseline Functional gait assessment at 4 weeks
An index that is used to assess postural stability during walking and assesses an individual's ability to perform multiple motor tasks while walking. Highest score is 30 points and higher scores denote better outcome.
Time frame: Baseline and 4th week visit
Change from baseline Romberg test at 4 weeks
A balance test that challenges the vestibular, proprioceptive and visual systems. Subject is asked to stand erect with eyes open/closed, on a hard/smooth surface and with feet side by side/ in tandem.Normally a person is expected to be able to stand in these positions for 30 seconds.
Time frame: Baseline and 4th week visit
Change from baseline Visual analog scale for neck pain at 4 weeks
Patient reported level of neck pain on a scale from 0 to 10 centimeters. 10 denotes severe pain and 0 denotes lack of pain.
Time frame: Baseline and 4th week visit
Change from baseline Visual analog scale for dizziness at 4 weeks
Patient reported level of dizziness on a scale from 0 to 10 centimeters. 10 indicates severe dizziness.
Time frame: Baseline and 4th week visit

Ran from Jun 2022 to primary completion in Oct 2022, 4 months.
Of 79 non-industry interventional studies with no phase under Vestibular Diseases, half reached primary completion within 16 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 8 and three quarters within 37. This study's 4 months is below that.
Counting every sponsor, half of 84 studies reached it within 15 months; a quarter within 8 and three quarters within 34.
