Mal de Debarquement syndrome (MdDS) is a type of vestibular disorder characterized by a feeling of constant movement. Movement may be experienced in the forms of rocking, swaying, bobbing, or a pulling sensation. Symptoms can be triggered by motion or occur spontaneously. Factors that potentially increase symptoms include: exposure to busy environments (ie grocery store, airport), visual stimuli (ie computer use, phone use, video games), and fatigue. Undoubtedly, MdDS negatively impacts day to day activities, social interactions, recreational activities, ability to work, and ultimately quality of life. MdDS is not clearly understood which makes it difficult to specifically treat. This article by one of our clinicians, Denise Schneider, outlines a particular treatment protocol used to treat patients who suffer from MdDS along with successful outcomes achieved.

Mal de débarquement research shows promise for treatment To treat the maladaptive VOR caused by Mal de debarquement, researches used manual head movements while subjects watched a moving stripe pattern. Results showed 66% improvement in both types of MdDS.
