Research

Mayo Clinic doctors and scientists are studying new ways to diagnose and treat balance problems. Specific efforts include developing clinical tests that help evaluate the function of specific components within the vestibular system, and finding links between personality types, specific genes and the risk of developing chronic dizziness.

The Dizziness and Balance Disorders Program at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, has a multidisciplinary team researching a range of conditions affecting balance. The Aerospace Medicine and Vestibular Research Laboratory investigates and develops strategies to enhance human health and performance in the aerospace environment, encompassing the mitigation of motion and simulator sickness.

Balance problems

Research: It's all about patients

[MUSIC PLAYING]

Joseph Sirven, M.D., Professor of Neurology, Mayo Clinic: Mayo's mission is about the patient. The patient comes first. So the mission and research here is to advance how we can best help the patient, how to make sure the patient comes first in care. So in many ways, it's a cycle. It can start with as simple as an idea worked on in a laboratory, brought to the patient bedside, and if everything goes right — and let's say it's helpful or beneficial — then brought on as a standard approach. And I think that is one of the unique characteristics of Mayo's approach to research — that patient-centeredness — that really helps to put it in its own spotlight.
