Evaluation of Executive Functions in Children With Cochleovestibular Deficit

Not yet recruiting

• Conditions: Hearing Loss; Vestibular Function; Cognitive Function; Executive Function
• Interventions: Other: Questionnaire BRIEF (Behavioral Rating Inventory of Executive Function)

• Registration Number: NCT05665907
• Lead Sponsor: Assistance Publique - Hôpitaux de Paris

Brief Summary

Vestibular system activity supports many functions ranging from gaze stabilization and postural control to high-level cortical functions involving spatial cognition, body perception, verticality perception, orientation, navigation, and spatial memory. Few studies have assessed the impact of a vestibular deficit on executive functions taking into account the simultaneous existence of sensorineural deafness in a child population. The BRIEF questionnaire (Behavioral Rating Inventory of Executive Function) allows a parental assessment of executive functions and is validated from the age of 5. Children were recruited from a pediatric population followed in the Ear Nose and Throat (ENT) department for audio-vestibular assessment and BRIEF questionnaire was completed by the accompanying parent.
