E.2 Objective of the trial |

|
E.2.3 | Trial contains a sub-study | No |
E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
- Age 18 to 80 years, included - Acute vestibular neuritis, defined as: Acute or subacute onset of severe, prolonged rotatory vertigo, nausea and postural imbalance that began within 2 days before the inclusion Horizontal spontaneous nystagmus with a rotational component toward the unaffected ear (fast phase) Suppression or reduction of the nystagmus by visual fixation Horizontal gaze-evoked nystagmus (i.e. increase of the nystagmus with gaze directed toward the fast phase of the spontaneous nystagmus and a decrease with gaze directed toward the slow phase) Horizontal head impulse test showing an ipsilateral deficit (i.e. rotation of the head toward the affected ear inducing catch-up saccade toward the unaffected ear) No skew deviation at the cover test for skew (i.e. no vertical misalignment of the visual axes during ocular alternate cover testing) - For woman of child bearing potential: negative urine pregnancy test at inclusion and using an efficient contraceptive (surgical or hormonal birth control or intra-uterine device) for at least 2 months before the study and one month after the end of the study, in order to avoid pregnancy while being exposed to the study treatment. - Able to understand the protocol and having signed the written Informed Consent Form. In case of intense vertigo the Informed Consent Form could be signed by a third party (a trustworthy person except an investigator’s team representative or a sponsor representative) after oral consent of the patient, the Informed Consent Form then being signed by the patient within 2 days. - Likely to be compliant during the study, in the judgement of the investigator - Affiliated to a social security or health insurance system, or is a beneficiary (if applicable in the national regulation) |
