| Official Title: | Biological Rhythms and Vestibular System |
Further study details as provided by University Hospital, Caen:
Primary Outcome Measures:
- Measurements of vestibular reflexes (ocular and spinal) and circadian rhythms of biological functions. [ Time Frame: 3 years ]Gain of vestibular ocular reflex Amplitude of vestibular spinal reflex Amplitude and phase of temperature circardian rhythms
| Estimated Enrollment: | 96 |
| Study Start Date: | April 2013 |
| Estimated Primary Completion Date: | April 2016 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure) |
| Arms | Assigned Interventions |
|---|---|
|
No Intervention: control
Control without vestibular stimulation
|
|
|
No Intervention: Bilateral areflexia
Patient with vestibular bilateral areflexia
|
|
|
No Intervention: Areflexia controls
Controls for patients with vestibular bilateral areflexia, matched in sex and age
|
|
|
Experimental: vestibular stimulation
Subjects submitted to vestibular stimulation in order to improve circadian rhythms
|
Behavioral: vestibular stimulation
Physical activity and vestibular stimulation will be used in order to improve circadian rhythms
|
Detailed Description:
The purpose of this study is to study the relationship between the vestibular system and chronobiology.
Two parts will be performed. In the first one patients with bilateral vestibular areflexia will be compared to control subjects.
In the second the effect of vestibular stimulation on circadian rhythms will be evaluated
