Overview
Brief Summary
To compare the effect of virtual reality (VR) versus conventional vestibular rehabilitation and progressive muscle relaxation (PMR) to improve balance and stress among patients of persistent postural perceptual dizziness (PPPD).
Detailed Description
Through this randomized controlled trial, we evaluate the effectiveness of three modern interventions in patients with persistent postural perceptual dizziness. In order to study the novel facets of PPPD and to cover a large research gap, it is necessary to explore the psychological and physiological aspects of PPPD. At individualized levels, this study aimed to enable patients to become more independent in their social and personal lives by overcoming stress and balance issues. Socially, it reduces stigma by raising awareness, promoting understanding, providing better health access, facilitating communities, and promoting a more supportive and inclusive environment. This research can refine rehabilitation therapies at the institutional level and enhance health care provider training. It increases treatment and resource allocation, leading to better outcomes in the field. It provides a new platform for research.

Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria
- •age groups ranging 18-25 years and having symptoms of dizziness, and lightheadedness over the period of \>3months while having predisposing stress factor. The Individuals who are ready to take part willingly in the follow up sessions should be included in the research
Exclusion Criteria
- •The participants who have any other neurological disease and cause of dizziness are excluded from this study. There should be no history of smoking, drug abuse and alcohol, and any other neurological condition that affects the balance. Subjects with active Meniere's disease /BPPV/bilateral vestibulopathy are also excluded.
Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
balance
Time Frame: 2 months
Both groups will be given 3 treatment sessions per week . A thorough evaluation will be done again at the end of intervention period to find the difference between pre and post- interventional scores.Balance will be measured by using miniBESTest ( balance evaluation system test) with a cut of range 0-28 points there will be 14 items each item is categorised in three levels in whole while 0 representing low level of function and 2 representing the highest level of function.
Secondary Outcomes
- stress(2 months)
