Gaze Stabilization vs Oculomotor Exercises on Cybersickness in Computer Users (GAZE-CS)

23. mai 2026 oppdatert av: Dr. Marium Zafar, University of Faisalabad

Effectiveness of Gaze Stabilization Exercises Versus Oculomotor Exercises on Cybersickness in Computer Users: A Randomized Clinical Trial

Many people who use computers for long hours experience "cybersickness" (dizziness, nausea, blurred vision) because their eyes see movement on the screen but their body feels still. This study aims to see which type of eye and head exercises works best to fix this. We will compare Gaze Stabilization Exercises (head movements) against Oculomotor Exercises (eye movements). Forty-six computer users will perform these exercises for 4 weeks. We will measure their dizziness, vision, and quality of life before, during, and after the treatment.

Detaljert beskrivelse

This is a single-blinded, randomized clinical trial. Participants (n=46) will be recruited from The University of Faisalabad. Inclusion criteria include screen time >6 hours/day, computer usage for at least 10 years, and a Simulator Sickness Questionnaire (SSQ) score between 20 and 40.

Group A (Intervention): Gaze Stabilization Exercises. Week 1: View X1 exercises. Week 2: View X2 exercises. Week 3: Gaze shift exercises. Week 4: Imaginary Target exercises. (3 sessions/week, 1 minute per exercise, 3 times each).

Group B (Active Comparator): Oculomotor Exercises. Week 1: Range exercises. Week 2: Saccadic exercises. Week 3: Pursuit exercises. Week 4: Vergence exercises. (3 sessions/week, 1 minute per exercise, 3 times each).

Outcomes: The primary outcome is the change in Dynamic Visual Acuity (LogMAR scale) and Cybersickness (SSQ score). The secondary outcome is Quality of Life (SF-36 questionnaire). Measurements will be taken at baseline, Week 2, and Week 4. Data will be analyzed using SPSS version 20.

Våpen og intervensjoner

Deltakergruppe / Arm
Intervensjon / Behandling
Eksperimentell: Gaze Stabilization Exercises
Participants in this arm will receive Gaze Stabilization Exercises (GSE) for 4 weeks, 3 sessions per week. The protocol includes View X1, View X2, Gaze Shift, and Imaginary Target exercises. Each exercise is performed for 1 minute, repeated 3 times per session. Exercises target the vestibulo-ocular reflex (VOR) by coordinating head and eye movements to reduce sensory conflict.
Atferdsmessig: Gaze Stabilization Exercises
Week 1 - View X1: Patient sits upright. Target held at eye level 1 meter away. Patient turns head horizontally (left/right) or vertically (up/down) while keeping eyes fixed on target. Speed: slow (1Hz). Duration: 1 minute. Repetitions: 3 times per direction. Week 2 - View X2: Same as View X1 but head movement speed increased to 2Hz. Week 3 - Gaze Shift: Two targets placed 30 cm apart horizontally or vertically. Patient rotates head to face Target 1, then shifts gaze to Target 2 while continuing head rotation toward Target 2. Duration: 1 minute. Repetitions: 3 times. Week 4 - Imaginary Target: Patient fixates on a target (e.g., a sticker on wall). Closes eyes. Rotates head 30-45 degrees away from target. While eyes closed, patient imagines still looking at target. Opens eyes and checks if fixation is accurate. Duration: 1 minute. Repetitions: 3 times per direction. All exercises are performed under supervision for the first 3 sessions, then home-based with weekly follow-up calls.
Aktiv komparator: Oculomotor Exercises Group
Participants in this arm will receive Oculomotor Exercises for 4 weeks, 3 sessions per week. The protocol includes Range, Saccadic, Pursuit, and Vergence exercises. Each exercise is performed for 1 minute, repeated 3 times per session. Exercises target isolated eye movements without head motion to improve oculomotor control and reduce visual strain.
Atferdsmessig: Oculomotor Exercises
Week 1 - Range Oculomotor Exercises: Eyes closed. Patient moves eyes slowly in horizontal (left-right), vertical (up-down), diagonal (top-left to bottom-right), and rotational (clockwise/counterclockwise) directions. Duration: 1 minute per direction. Repetitions: 3 times. Week 2 - Saccadic Exercises: Two stationary targets (e.g., two fingers) held 30 cm apart at eye level. Patient rapidly shifts gaze between targets without moving head. Duration: 1 minute. Repetitions: 3 times. Week 3 - Pursuit Exercises: A single target (e.g., pen) is moved slowly horizontally and vertically. Patient follows target smoothly with eyes only (head still). Speed: approx 20 degrees/second. Duration: 1 minute per direction. Repetitions: 3 times. Week 4 - Vergence Exercises: Target (e.g., pen) starts at 50 cm from patient's nose. Patient focuses on target as it is slowly moved toward nose to 5 cm (convergence), then back to 50 cm (divergence). Duration: 1 minute. Repetitions: 3 times under supervision.

Hva måler studien?

Primære resultatmål

Resultatmål
Tiltaksbeskrivelse
Tidsramme
Change in Vestibulo-Ocular Reflex (VOR) Function
Tidsramme: Baseline (Week 0), Week 2, Week 4
Measured by Dynamic Visual Acuity (DVA) test using a LogMAR chart. Patient reads smallest line possible while head is stationary (static VA). Then patient rotates head horizontally at 2Hz while reading. Number of lines lost between static and dynamic conditions is recorded. Normal VOR: 1-2 lines lost. Abnormal: 4-6 lines lost. Higher lines lost = worse VOR function.
Baseline (Week 0), Week 2, Week 4
Change in Cybersickness Severity
Tidsramme: Baseline (Week 0), Week 2, Week 4
Measured by the Simulator Sickness Questionnaire (SSQ). Contains 16 symptoms rated 0-3 (0=not at all, 3=severe). Total score range 0-48. Subscales: Nausea (symptoms 1,2,6,7,8,9,14,15), Oculomotor (3,4,5,10,11,12,13), and Disorientation (5,10,11,12,13,14,15). Higher score = worse cybersickness.
Baseline (Week 0), Week 2, Week 4
