Electrical vestibular stimulation to improve balance in older adults: a pilot randomized controlled trial
nEVS may be a safe and effective intervention for improving balance in older adults. Its benefits in addressing age-related deficits in balance and sensory integration highlight its potential for fall prevention and rehabilitation. This study was retrospectively registered as a clinical trial on February 25, 2025 (NCT06846047).
