An interventional study of progressive muscle relaxation (PMR) technique and vestibular rehabilitation exercises and virtual reality (VR) in Persistent Postural Perceptual Dizziness, sponsored by Shalamar Institute of Health Sciences. Not yet recruiting at 1 site in Pakistan. Open to participants aged 18 Years to 25 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2024-07-01.

To compare the effect of virtual reality (VR) versus conventional vestibular rehabilitation and progressive muscle relaxation (PMR) to improve balance and stress among patients of persistent postural perceptual dizziness (PPPD).
Through this randomized controlled trial, we evaluate the effectiveness of three modern interventions in patients with persistent postural perceptual dizziness. In order to study the novel facets of PPPD and to cover a large research gap, it is necessary to explore the psychological and physiological aspects of PPPD. At individualized levels, this study aimed to enable patients to become more independent in their social and personal lives by overcoming stress and balance issues. Socially, it reduces stigma by raising awareness, promoting understanding, providing better health access, facilitating communities, and promoting a more supportive and inclusive environment. This research can refine rehabilitation therapies at the institutional level and enhance health care provider training. It increases treatment and resource allocation, leading to better outcomes in the field. It provides a new platform for research.

Exclusion Criteria:
GROUP A will be treated by progressive muscle relaxation (PMR) technique as a mean of stress relaxation and vestibular rehabilitation exercises for postural stability through Swiss ball, BOSU ball, balance board etc.
Other: progressive muscle relaxation (PMR) technique and vestibular rehabilitation exercises
GROUP B will follow virtual reality (VR) based intervention program where three dimensional-3D environments will be used reduce stress and improve balance.
Other: virtual reality (VR)
A will be treated by progressive muscle relaxation (PMR) technique as a mean of stress relaxation and vestibular rehabilitation exercises for postural stability through Swiss ball, BOSU ball, balance board etc. Other components of vestibular rehab including gaze stability enhancement, improvement in vertigo and activities of daily living will also be focused.
virtual reality (VR) based intervention program where three dimensional-3D environments will be used reduce stress and improve balance. A Simulator Sickness Questionnaire (SSQ) will be filled by participants before and after each session of VR to discriminate whether VR is provoking the symptoms or not.
balance
Both groups will be given 3 treatment sessions per week . A thorough evaluation will be done again at the end of intervention period to find the difference between pre and post- interventional scores.Balance will be measured by using miniBESTest ( balance evaluation system test) with a cut of range 0-28 points there will be 14 items each item is categorised in three levels in whole while 0 representing low level of function and 2 representing the highest level of function.
Time frame: 2 months
stress
Both groups will be given 3 treatment sessions per week. A thorough evaluation will be done again at the end of intervention period to find the difference between pre and post- interventional scores.stress will be calculated by using perceived stress scale which will incude 10 questions each question is categorised into 5 likert scales with scoring ranging as 0-13 (low stress), 14-26 (moderate stress), 27-40 (high stress)
Time frame: 2 months
Plan to share: No
Start is estimated for Jun 2024; primary completion for Oct 2024, 4 months later.
Of 82 non-industry interventional studies with no phase under Dizziness, half reached primary completion within 22 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 8 and three quarters within 42. This study's planned 4 months is below that.
Counting every sponsor, half of 90 studies reached it within 20 months; a quarter within 8 and three quarters within 42.
