Vertigo is a form of dizziness that produces a sensation of movement where there is none. When experiencing vertigo, people may feel off-balance like they are spinning and the world around them is moving. Vertigo experiences, especially chronic ones, can be associated with a vestibular disorder in the inner ear.

Chronic vertigo patients can experience severe attacks that can last hours or even days. Vertigo has a large impact on millions of Americans’ daily lives and can prevent people from experiencing a normal life.

These patients may receive diagnoses including, but not limited to: vestibular migraine, Meniere’s disease, benign paroxysmal positional vertigo, or persistent postural perceptive dizziness.

Otolith Labs’ non-invasive technology is being developed for the acute treatment of vertigo episodes in chronic patient population. The headworn device applies localized nVRT stimulation to the vestibular system through precisely calibrated vibrations. It is primarily intended for use by vestibular migraine patients, for whom there are very limited treatments.
