In a double-blind randomized trial, 56 adults with chronic peripheral vestibular dizziness received eight weeks of vestibular rehabilitation with either active 10-Hz rTMS or sham stimulation. Both groups had the same rehabilitation schedule.
The active group improved more on all outcomes reported in the abstract. Between-group estimates favored active treatment for visual vertigo analogue scores by 2.1 points, Berg Balance Scale scores by 6.3 points and total equilibrium scores by 6.9 points, with reported effect sizes from 1.02 to 1.15.
The study supports further evaluation of rTMS as an adjunct to rehabilitation, not as a stand-alone treatment. The abstract does not provide group counts, attrition, baseline balance, adverse events, masking checks or durability after treatment. Funding and conflict disclosures were not available in the authoritative abstract.
