Summary

The study aims to study the effects of a novel treatment for vestibular symptoms in people with multiple sclerosis. The main objective is to determine whether daily personalized gaze stabilization training is more beneficial than intermittent gaze stability training in people with multiple sclerosis.

Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: Intermittent incremental vestibulo-ocular Reflex Adaptation (I-IVA-GSE)Experimental Treatment1 Intervention
The I-IVA-GSE group will perform two, 15-minute IVA-GSE sessions (30 minutes total), three days per week, with at least one day between each exercise day.
Group II: Daily Incremental Vestibulo-ocular Reflex Adaptation (D-IVA-GSE)Experimental Treatment1 Intervention
The dosages of the D-IVA-GSE and I-IVA-GSE are based on the FITT principle of exercise prescription (frequency, intensity, time, and type). The D-IVA-GSE group will perform two, 15- minute GSE sessions (30-minutes total per day), seven days per week.
