Reducing Vertigo Associated With MRI Machines
NCT06062368 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
Vertigo, dizziness, and imbalance are commonly reported by patients and technologists when near high-field strength magnets (\>4 Tesla, T) used for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) (1-5) Prior research from the investigators has established that the mechanism is likely a Lorentz force occurring in the inner ear, as a result of interactions with normal electrical currents in the inner ear and the strong static magnetic field of the MRI machine. The investigators have recently developed preliminary data to suggest that slower rates of entry into the magnetic field can greatly attenuate the sensations of vertigo. The explanation for this is that the rates of vestibular adaptation exceed that of the stimulus, allowed a reduction or elimination of the symptoms of vertigo. The aim of this study is to recruit individuals who are already getting an MRI scan as part of other research studies to randomize the rate of entry into and exit from the static magnetic field (i.e., before and after imaging is performed). The usual rate of entry is 20 seconds. This will be increased to one, two or three minutes. The investigators will record subjective sensations of dizziness and vertigo associated with the entry into the MRI.

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT06062368
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT06062368 describes a study currently listed as recruiting. It is categorized as NA, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 100 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is Johns Hopkins University, which has 1,517 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.
The record links to 2 conditions, with Dizziness appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 1 intervention — of which Rate of Entry is the first listed. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.
Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT06062368 reports 1 study location spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include Maryland. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll.
