Boarding Ring Glasses Versus Placebo Glasses or Not Glasses in the Treatment of Vestibular Neuritis
Boarding Ring Glasses Versus Placebo Glasses or Not Glasses in the Treatment of Vestibular Neuritis
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.
