Neurophysiology Studies Electrical Stimulation For Vestibular Nerve

该项目将提供前庭终末器官功能丧失后电刺激前庭神经的方法的研究和开发。本研究的目的是开发电刺激前庭神经的方法，其可以在导致头晕和/或作为平衡假体的组成部分的不规则活动的短暂发作期间为患者提供益处。该合同旨在不久的将来与人类患者临床应用密切相关的动物研究。

This project will provide research and development of methods for electrically stimulating the vestibular nerve following loss of function from the vestibular end organs. The objective of this research is to develop methods of electrically stimulating the vestibular nerve, which can provide patient benefit during transient attacks of irregular activity leading to dizziness and/or act as a component of a balance prosthesis. This contract is directed towards animal studies with close ties to clinical applications in human patients in the near future.
