This collaboration grants Spiral access to VeDA’s Patient Registry on Meniere’s patients, enriching its ongoing research efforts. Additionally, the Vestibular Disorders Association will facilitate targeted outreach to Meniere’s clinicians and patients in the United States and Australia. Both organizations will also collaborate on educational programs to further patient understanding of treatment nuances such as the placebo effect.
“VeDA is honored to partner with Spiral in our mutual effort to support Meniere’s patients on their journey back to balance,” says Cynthia Ryan, executive director of VeDA. “We’re excited about the potential their new treatment offers to improve the lives of people struggling with vertigo, hearing loss, and tinnitus.”
