29 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
Study of the safety of open-label SPI-1005 400 mg BID treatment in adults with Meniere's Disease (MD) for 6 or 12 months to support chronic or chronic intermittent use.
Meniere's disease (MD) is a chronic disease with a variety of fluctuating signs and symptoms, which include vertigo, hearing loss, tinnitus (ringing noise in the ear), aural pressure (feeling of ear fullness), and disequilibrium (lack of stability). Vertigo represents one of the most common and distressing problems in MD patients, and it causes various somatic and psychological disorders that interfere with the patient's quality of life. Despite the large economic and emotional impact of symptoms in MD patients, there is no FDA-approved medication to treat this debilitating condition. As such, our objective in this study is to evaluate the therapeutic potential of novel medications in treating MD that have previously shown astonishing promise in our clinical practice.
This is a double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial to assess whether treatment with lamotrigine and bupropion is more effective than placebo to reduce definitive Meniere's vertigo attacks (DMVA) and dizziness in patients with Meniere's disease. Thirty four participants will be randomized to treatment or placebo groups. Each participant will take part in the trial for 34 weeks, or approximately 9 months.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate a previously FDA-approved medication that is known to help with allergy symptoms to see if it can decrease symptoms in patients with Meniere's Disease.
The study is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multi-center clinical trial (RCT) with open-label extension study (OLE), of SPI-1005 in adult subjects with definite Meniere's disease with active symptoms within three months preceding study enrollment.
As of yet, the cause of Meniere's disease is uncertain and there is no cure. Given the lack of high level evidence for treatments, we seek to perform a randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind, crossover, pilot trial of venlafaxine for treating Meniere's disease. Venlafaxine is a safe and well-tolerated medication. It has never been trialed in Meniere's disease, but there is evidence that it could be effective in helping with vertigo attacks and other aspects of the disorder.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of OTO-104 for the treatment of Meniere's disease.
A Phase II randomized, placebo controlled study design of anakinra (Kineret) in corticosteroid-resistant or intolerant Meniere's disease (CR-MD)and corticosteroid-resistant or intolerant autoimmune inner ear disease (CR-AIED) patients. Patients will be randomized by a 2:1 allocation to anakinra or placebo for 42 continuous days. After day 42, a second placebo-controlled period will begin for an additional 42 days. This will be followed by a 264 day observation period, during which, hearing declines may be re-treated with anakinra after 30 days following the initial drug.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the efficacy of a mastoid treatment device in patients with active Ménière's disease that is not controlled by traditional medical management

Background: Disorders of hearing instability (HI) are poorly characterized and ineffectively treated. HI can cause fluctuations in hearing thresholds and speech understanding. Researchers want to use a specialized form of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and blood tests to learn more about HI. Objective: To characterize a cohort of people with HI and to correlate HI with other data, including hearing evaluations, as well as radiologic and immunologic biomarkers of inflammation over time. Eligibility: Adults ages 18-80 who have symptoms consistent with possible HI. Design: Participants will be screened with a medical and hearing history and medical record review. Participants will have physical exams. Their head and neck will be examined. They will have blood drawn. Participants will have hearing tests. They will wear headphones or foam earplugs. They will listen to different tones. They may describe what they hear. Participants will have balance tests. They will wear goggles as they watch moving lights or while cold or warm air is blown into their ears. They will sit in a spinning chair in a quiet, dark booth. From a reclining position, they will raise their head while clicking sounds are played into their ears. Participants will have MRIs of the inner ear and brain. The MRI scanner is a metal cylinder surrounded by a strong magnetic field. During the MRIs, participants will lie on a table that slides in and out of the scanner. Soft padding or a coil will be placed around their head. They will get a contrast agent through an intravenous catheter. Participation will last up to 15 months. ...
This is a pilot study of patients with clinical symptoms of Ménière's disease using injection of diluted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast agent into the ear to evaluate inner ear structures. The goal is to reproduce imaging findings described by non-United States (US) institutions, improve on image quality with decreased scan time and evaluate the dynamics of the contrast movement into the inner ear structures.
The goal of this virtual clinical trial is to determine the effectiveness of two study devices in providing temporary relief to adults aged 18-70 who suffer from symptoms of chronic vestibular vertigo. The main question\[s\] it aims to answer are: * Within an episode, is there a significant difference between the randomized study devices at the individual timepoints during the vertigo episode? * Within an episode, is there evidence of quantitative treatment at each individual timepoint during the vertigo episode? Participants will be: * Enrolled up to 49 days; 14 days in Baseline Phase (no device) and 21 days in Treatment Phase (study device) for Study Arm 1 or 28 days in Treatment Phase (study device) for Study Arm 2 * Randomized and stratified into groups based on diagnosis to be assigned a study device * Asked to use the study device as instructed by the study coordinator * Asked to download a study app to submit daily diaries regarding their symptoms and use of device, and to participate in tele-health visits with study coordinators * Asked to provide their vertigo diagnosis from their physician * Compensated for their participation Researchers will compare the randomized groups to see which groups respond better to which device.
Intratympanic steroid injections are an accepted treatment for Meniere's disease and idiopathic sudden sensorineural hearing loss. This treatment is typically performed using local topical anesthesia. There is very limited research on the differences of medications and application procedures effect on patients' pain during the procedure.Topical Tetracaine solution and topical phenol have been shown to be effective as local anesthesia for the tympanic membrane when used for myringotomy. Currently there is no consensus on medication and technique however focally applied phenol is the more widely used technique. We believe this study can provide valuable information given the disadvantages of topical phenol including burning upon application as well as possible increase in persistent tympanic membrane perforation. The objectives are to determine the effectiveness of tetracaine drops for local anesthesia for intratympanic steroid injections compared to focal topical phenol application and to identify if tetracaine drops provides adequate anesthesia for intratympanic steroid injection with less pain on application than focal phenol.
This study is a prospective, clinical study to determine if it is safe and effective to use a cochlear implant over time in individuals undergoing removal of a vestibular schwannoma (VS), benign tumor of the hearing and balance nerve or undergoing a labyrinthectomy for treatment of Meniere's disease. Individuals undergoing these surgeries will be deaf on the surgical side after the procedure. Currently, cochlear implants are approved for use and not considered investigational in individuals with hearing loss on both sides. However, use of a cochlear implant for these patient populations (single-sided hearing loss) will be considered a new use of an approved device. Participants undergoing surgery to remove a VS or having a labyrinthectomy will have a cochlear implant inserted after the surgical procedure for clinical care. Approximately 4 weeks after surgery, participants will be fitted with an external speech processor on the surgical side that will stimulate the internal cochlear implant. Participants will return at the following intervals after the initial processor fitting: 2 weeks, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, 9 months, and 12 months. At each interval, participants will complete questionnaires on how they are hearing with the implant and their quality of life with the implant and be tested on their ability to hear sounds and understand speech. Potential risks are those associated with all cochlear implant surgeries, and include device failure resulting in removal of device, irritation or redness in surgical area and/or area where processor is attached, increased ringing in the ear, facial nerve stimulation and a change in the way speech and other sounds sound through the implant. Potential benefits to individual participants in this study include improvement in detection and speech understanding of the surgical ear. Participants may also experience improved abilities to locate sound and understand speech in noise as the result of having hearing on both sides.
The goal of this project is to determine whether subjects who have undergone labyrinthectomy or a translabyrinthine surgical approach as the treatment for vestibular schwannoma or Meniere's disease benefit from cochlear implantation on speech perception and localization tasks. If the auditory nerve is able to transmit this signal effectively, then these two populations may be able to utilize the combination of electric (in the affected ear) and acoustic (in the non-affected ear) information for improved speech perception in noise and localization as reportedly experienced in other unilateral sensorineural hearing loss populations.
This study seeks to gather data on the effect of a device, the OtoBand, in participants who have reported symptoms of vertigo, compared to the effect of using one of two sham devices. The study is designed to be conducted remotely using video conferencing between representatives of the manufacturer of the Otoband and participants. In order to comply with requirements for non-essential contact due to the Covid-19 pandemic there will be no person to person contact in the study.
This research study aims to determine whether low-frequency transcranial vibrations can act as a possible treatment for the dizziness and nausea often associated with vestibular physical therapy.
The purpose of this study is to determine if gevokizumab therapy may be an alternate therapy in patients with steroid resistant Autoimmune Inner Ear Disease.
The purpose of this study is to determine if Anakinra (an interleukin-1 receptor antagonist) can improve hearing thresholds in those patients with Autoimmune Inner Ear Disease (AIED) that did not respond to oral steroid therapy for a sudden decline in hearing. The patients to be enrolled will have recently completed a course of oral steroids and demonstrated no change in their audiometric thresholds following corticosteroid therapy.
