Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Active
Participants will be receiving an active Caloric Vestibular Stimulation treatment for a duration of 8 weeks, 7 days a week, twice daily for 19 minutes.
Caloric Vestibular Stimulation
Stimulation of the vestibular nerves
Placebo
Participants will be receiving a Sham Caloric Vestibular Stimulation treatment for a duration of 8 weeks in the same manner as the active arm: 7 days a week, twice daily for 19 minutes.
Individuals allocated to this arm will be later crossed over, in unblinded fashion, to the active arm if the treatment shows evidence of efficacy and safety.
