Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to study the relationship between the vestibular system and chronobiology

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
  • Behavioral: vestibular stimulation
N/A

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

Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
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

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. Measurements of vestibular reflexes (ocular and spinal) and circadian rhythms of biological functions. [3 years]

    Gain of vestibular ocular reflex Amplitude of vestibular spinal reflex Amplitude and phase of temperature circardian rhythms
