Trial Outcomes & Findings for Sensory Integration of Auditory and Visual Cues in Diverse Contexts (NCT NCT04479761)

NCT ID: NCT04479761

Last Updated: 2025-02-05

Results Overview

RMSV is defined the difference in position between two data points divided by the average time interval, with the velocities at each point squared then summed. The square root of this sum is then divided by the number of data points. Higher values reflect more postural sway. This will be calculated as an average across repetitions where participants saw a moving subway environment (dynamic visuals) combined with real-recorded sounds (moving sounds). Higher RMSV indicated less postural stability. This metric is calculated from center-of-pressure data collected by a force platform. Participants were standing on foam placed on the force platform.

Vestibular Hypofunction
Participants with unilateral peripheral vestibular hypofunction and normal hearing were recruited from vestibular rehabilitation at the New York Eye and Ear Infirmary of Mount Sinai. Potentially eligible participants with a complaint of head motion provoked instability or dizziness affecting their functional mobility and quality of life were identified during their standard clinical evaluation. Participants presented with at least 1 positive finding indicating unilateral vestibular hypofunction on the following clinical tests: head thrust, subjective visual vertical and horizontal, post head shaking nystagmus, spontaneous and gaze holding nystagmus, in addition to a score of at least 16 (mild handicap) on the Dizziness Handicap Inventory (DHI).
Unilateral Hearing Loss (UHL)
Participants with a stable UHL, no evidence of retrocochlear pathology on MRI and no active complaint of dizziness (Dizziness Handicap Inventory \[DHI\] score \<16) were recruited from a single tertiary, urban otology practice or from clinicaltrials.org. UHL was defined as having an unaided pure-tone average (PTA) of hearing thresholds at 0.5, 1, 2, and 4 kHz in the affected ear ≥ 40 dB HL and normal hearing in the contralateral ear.
Healthy Controls
Healthy controls with normal hearing, no vestibular complaints, no history of vestibular or other issues that may influence balance, were recruited from the university community and via clinicaltrials.org
