Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.

Inclusion criteria

  • Patients with dizziness (Meniere's) only, who understand the nature of the study and are willing to participate voluntarily.
  • The frequency of the hearing loss is between 250 kHz and 1 kHz.
  • Patients with bilateral 500, 1000, and 2000 Hz hearing threshold averages within 65 dB HL
  • Patients who have received conventional pharmacotherapy for other dizziness conditions with a of 2 months.
  • To be eligible for subjects in the active phase of the disease, there must be at least 1 vertigo attack in the 6 months before study entry.
  • If tests for renal function, electrolytes, etc. are performed and no problems are found

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Patients with an otologic condition other than Meniere'ss (dizziness) (otitis media, profound hearing loss, hyperacusis, etc.).
  • Patients' conditions that may affect EEG measurements, such as a stroke, brain hemorrhage, or brain tumor.
  • Patients with kidney disease
  • Patients Have or have had a serious medical condition, such as cancer (including leukemia, blood cancers, epilepsy, and neuropsychiatric conditions).
  • Patients with an artificial implant in the body (cochlear implant, hip joint, pacemaker, etc.)
  • Women of , pregnant women, or nursing mothers
  • Patients who can have Injuries or dermatologic abnormalities at the site of application of the equipment.
  • Patients with coronary artery disease, uncontrolled high blood pressure, or other serious medical conditions (including kidney disease).
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(2)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Washout period

A planned gap after a treatment, so that its effects can lessen before the study treatment or a study assessment. Ask the study team and the doctor who prescribed it before changing any medicine.

Childbearing potential

Able to become pregnant: from the first period until menopause, unless permanently unable to through surgery (removal of the womb, or of both ovaries or both fallopian tubes).

Criteria for people of childbearing potential usually ask for a negative pregnancy test and for contraception during the study and for a time after it.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Valuation of dizziness with Dizziness Visual Analogue scale(Efficacy)

    Verifying therapeutic effect of electrical stimulation

    Time frame: 0,2,4,8,12 weeks during electrical stimulation

  2. Evaluate vestibular-ocular reflex with Video head impulse test(Efficacy)

    Verifying therapeutic effect of electrical stimulation,evaluate the function of the vestibulocochlear reflex in the semicircular canal and measure the extent of improvement in Meniere's disease.

    Time frame: 0,4,8,12 weeks during electrical stimulation

  3. Valuation of hearing threshold with pure tone audiometry(Efficacy)

    Verifying therapeutic effect of electrical stimulation.measuring the level of enhancement in low-frequency hearing.

    Time frame: 0,4,8,12 weeks during electrical stimulation

  4. electroencephalography(Efficacy)

    Verifying therapeutic effect of electrical stimulation,evaluate the inhibitory response of the brain through EEG readings following repeated stimulation.

    Time frame: 0,1,4,8,12 weeks during electrical stimulation

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Dec 5, 2024, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
