Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study evaluates the vestibular activity in major depression patients and healthy controls using the rotatory test and electronystagmography.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Previous studies showed abnormal vestibular activity in major depression patients using caloric vestibular tests. The present study investigates the vestibular response to vestibular rotatory tests in major depression subjects and healthy controls.
