Tokyo, Nov. 10 -- UMIN Clinical Trials Registry (UMIN-CTR) received information related to the study (UMIN000059695) titled 'Exploring a New Non-invasive Treatment for Motion Sickness Using Electrical Nerve Stimulation' on Nov. 10.
Study Type:
Interventional
Study Design:
Basic Design - Cross-over
Randomization - Non-randomized
Blinding - Open -no one is blinded
Control - No treatment
Primary Sponsor:
Institute - St. Marianna University School of Medicine
Condition:
Condition - Motion Sickness
Classification by malignancy - Others
Genomic information - NO
Objective:
Narrative objectives1 - This pilot study aims to investigate the efficacy and safety of transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) in patients with motion sickness, assessed by subjective (MSAQ) and objective (VST) parameters. The study seeks to elucidate the therapeutic potential of TENS and to contribute to the establishment of a novel, non-invasive treatment modality for motion sickness.
Basic objectives2 - Efficacy
Intervention:
Interventions/Control_1 - Under the TENS-off condition, rotational stimulation at 60 degrees/sec will be applied for one minute, followed by one minute of post-rotatory nystagmus recording. The intervention will be conducted only once, and the total duration including post-measurement questionnaire completion will be approximately 10 minutes.
Interventions/Control_2 - Under the TENS-on condition, rotational stimulation at 60 degrees/sec will be applied for one minute, followed by one minute of post-rotatory nystagmus recording. The intervention will be conducted only once, and the total duration including post-measurement questionnaire completion will be approximately 10 minutes.
