Participate in a Research Study

August 7, 2012

Participate in a research study on balance control. Screenings for selecting Candidates will be performed at The NeuroKinetics Clinic from Monday Aug.7, 9am, to Thursday Aug. 10, 5pm 2012.

We are looking for Volunteers to perform a Research Project looking at a new way to mitigate Balance and Dizziness Disorders [BDD] and Fall Proneness due to the adverse effects of stress and workload with applying a novel safe, drugless, and non-invasive device.

Objectives of this Double Blind Randomized Clinical Trial are as follows:

=> Objectively evaluate the effectiveness of a safe, drugless and non-invasive Device in
1. Correcting stress-related moderate dysfunctional mechanisms known to cause BDD
2. Reducing the occurrence of unsteadiness, dizziness, and fall proneness under stress
3. Enhancing general balance control and performance at home, at work and in sports

=> Our goal is to better understand how to correct the cause of BDD and improve performance.

Eligible candidates will:
• be between the ages of 25 and 60,
• have no neurological or cardiovascular history of disease,
• have no history of severe trauma, and
• be able to walk and stand without assistance.

The time commitment is one 15 minute screening, and two 3.5 hour sessions, 2 weeks apart during the month of August 2012. Benefits for subjects include a short customized report on individual performance data from the screening – a $75 value. Refreshments will be provided while on site for the study sessions.

My tinnitus symptoms started eight weeks after I had suffered a head-on collision with the broad side of a 20-ton truck. I was diagnosed with tinnitus and upon asking the doctor what the prognosis was, I was informed that it was a life-long condition and that I would have to learn to live with it. > READ MORE
