Eligibility

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: 1. Adults aged 30 60 years 2. Positive findings on relevant clinical tests, from ENT specialist. 3. Clinically diagnosed vertigo with chronic unilateral peripheral vestibular dysfunction . 4. Mild to moderate vertigo and dizziness symptoms, as measured by the Dizziness Handicap Inventory (DHI)scale. 5. Patient able to understand and follow instructions. 6. Patient currently not on medications (chronic patients).

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: 1. Patients who cannot tolerate virtual reality due to physical or health limitations. 2. Patients with a positive Dix-Hallpike test (indicating Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo [BPPV]). This is because BPPV has specific treatments (e.g. repositioning maneuvers). 3. Contraindications to Virtual Reality (VR) use, such as: Severe visual impairments (Nystagmus, Double vision, cataracts, photosensitivity). Severe motor impairments affecting VR engagement. 4. Severe dizziness symptoms in patients that prevent safe participation in therapeutic exercises. 5. Central vestibular disorders like vestibular migraines 6. Severe cognitive impairments that hamper the ability to understand or perform the intervention protocols.
