Effects of vestibular rehabilitation program on balance, dizziness severity, sleep quality and quality of life in patients with vestibular migraine.
Trial report in Irish journal of medical science, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundDespite growing evidence on the effectiveness of vestibular rehabilitation (VR) in several vestibular pathologies, data on its impact in patients with vestibular migraine (VM) remain relatively limited.
aimsThe aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of VR on balance, dizziness severity, sleep quality and quality of life in patients diagnosed with VM.
methodsForty eight patients diagnosed with VM were randomized into two groups: a control group receiving routine medical treatment and an intervention group receiving medical treatment plus an eight-week structured VR program. Participants were assessed for dizziness severity using a Visual Analog Scale (VAS), for balance using balance tests, for sleep quality using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), and for handicap-related quality of life using the Dizziness Handicap Inventory (DHI), at baseline and at the end of the 8-week treatment.
resultsA total of 40 VM patients completed the study. The majority of the participants were female (85%). The intervention group showed significant improvements in static and dynamic balance tests, PSQI, dizziness-related DHI, and dizziness severity (VAS) from baseline to post-intervention (p < 0.05), whereas the control group showed no meaningful changes. Repeated measures ANOVA revealed significant group × time interactions across balance, functional mobility (TUG), sleep quality, and dizziness outcomes (p < 0.05), indicating greater improvements in the intervention group compared with controls.
conclusionAn eight-week structured VR program combined with routine medical treatment significantly improved balance, reduced dizziness severity and dizziness-related disability, and enhanced sleep quality in patients with VM.
