Neurophysiology Studies Electrical Stimulation For Vestibular Nerve

该项目将研究和开发在前庭终末器官功能丧失后电刺激前庭神经的方法。本研究的目的是开发电刺激前庭神经的方法，该方法可以在导致头晕的不规则活动短暂发作期间为患者提供益处和/或充当平衡假体的组件。该合同旨在在不久的将来与人类患者的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.
