Motion sickness can quickly become any patient's chief complaint. Rearward-facing transport, coupled with the stress and anxiety of injury or illness, can easily confuse the signals the body is sending to the CNS about equilibrium and balance. Any patient will appreciate your efforts to anticipate, prevent and minimize motion sickness.

Virtual reality is a promising tool for improving efficacy of exposure therapy for childhood anxiety disorders (CADs), particularly for exposures that are challenging to orchestrate in vivo. The present study compared virtual reality exposure (VRE) to verbal imaginal exposure (IE) on anxiety elicited, homework completion, and preparation for subsequent exposures. Forty-five youth with CADs completed both types of exposure in session (order randomly assigned), practiced one form of exposure as homework (randomly assigned), and returned a week later to repeat both exposures (in randomized order), provide user feedback, and complete a related in vivo exposure.

Purpose: Acute acoustic trauma (AAT) is a sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) due to exposure to high intensity impulse noise. There are no acceptable treatment guidelines, although several studies showed steroids could be effective in restoring hearing levels. A recent report suggested that steroids combined with hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) are a superior regiment for AAT.

Mobility is essential for individuals with physical disabilities, and wheelchairs significantly enhance their quality of life. Recent advancements focus on developing sophisticated control systems for effective and efficient interaction. This study evaluates the usability and performance of three wheelchair control modes manual, automatic, and voice controlled using a virtual reality (VR) simulation tool.

Introduction: Vestibular migraine (VM), particularly its chronic variant, poses a diagnostic challenge. Patients suffering from VM may not have the characteristic headaches associated with the dizziness. In these cases, a marker for migraine pathology in general could help appropriately diagnose certain types of dizziness as migrainous despite these patients not meeting current diagnostic criteria for VM.
