This video will teach you how to do a home version of the optokinetic head roll exercise. This exercise has been found effective for MDDS (Mal de Debarquement Syndrome), which is a form of chronic dizziness in which sufferers feel constant rocking, swaying or other rhythmic motion. Small studies (Mucci et al, 2018; Dai et al, 2014) have suggested high efficacy for this exercise (ranging from 40-70%) after a few days of treatment. I'd suggest doing this exercise up to 8 times a day, for 3-5 minutes each time, for 5 days. This is the standard treatment protocol. The researchers had everyone stop the treatment after 5 days if it did not change the symptoms. Keep in mind that effective MDDS treatment in many cases requires an integrative approach described elsewhere on this channel! That said, this exercise can support your recovery.

Thank you so much for sharing this. Last week at this time I was seriously struggling to get through my day with the rocking sensation that lingered after a cruise and now I barely feel it at all.

I've had MdDs and Vestibular Migraines for 5 years. I must say that the information you've shared on your website and channel has made more sense and done more for me than any doctors/specialists that I've been to and with no cost! I must confess I haven't done this exercise 8 times in a day, more like 4-5 times a day. I could tell right away it was working and now 4 days in my dizziness has been coming down in intensity. I play my favourite 4 minute song (which is ironically called "Dizzy") and do this exercise to the beat. Thank you so much for all that you do and for freely sharing it with the world.

Thank you so much!! My symptoms decreased after just one day of doing this!ā¤

Thank you so much! Iāve been fed up with this dealing it for 2 months and itās gotten even worse after going on the plane again.

After suffering for 2 weeks, my symptoms were reduced by 80% within hours. By the next day I was 100% OK. Thank you!!

Hello, this will be my first comment here and hoping to get some true clarity to my symptoms. Firstly, I do have anxiety. Your videos have shown me my flight or fight is engaged several hours a day. Working on this has given me some relief.
When i close my eyes, my body sways left and right. I feel like I'm constantly moving and also have dizziness. Possibly a combination of PPPD and MDDS?
You're a Godsend and I will continue to follow you. Please write back.
Humbly,
Linda

Thank you!! I had MDDS from a cruise that lasted two weeks about three years ago. I was miserable and didnāt know what to do to make it stop. I took a 4 hour flight last week that was almost non stop turbulence and somehow that triggered the same issue as the cruise. I couldnāt survive another week with it so I went searching for a treatment. This worked for me and I couldnāt be more grateful.

I cannot wait to try this, all Iāve been seeing is benzodiazepines, and I really donāt want to go down that path. This is so surprising to me, Iāve never been on a cruise, but I fished competitively on bass boats, and it would always resolve within 24 hours. Itās been about 15 years since Iāve been on a boat regularly, so imagine my surprise after getting off a five day cruise four days ago and I feel like my head wants to tip me over to the right, the bed feels like Iām floating on an air mattress in the middle of the lake, and every time I turn my head I feel like tipping over the direction I looked. So strange. Im really hoping this helps and I will come back to share my results. Blessing to you!

Hi Dr Yohit your chanel really help me understand mdds and help went through it. I've watching your vids about mdds and stress, sucess story and do this exercise as recommended.
The First 2 times i did it the rocking really felt almost disappear. The next day it came back. There were days it was hard and other day abit better. But i continue finishing until 5th day.
After the 5th i can say it reduced 50%. I remember you said be kind to yourself. And i did. whenever i feel the sensation or While doing some simple yoga and light workout i keep telling my self: its okay brain we are okay now. We are at land we are not moving.its okay lets learn again together.
It was reducing bit by bit day by day. I got it on last 23 Oct 2022 after a diving course( i didnt have sleep the night before it and was so scared and panicky underwater)
Now i'm happy to share that i am okay now! Shelves in stores and swirling water in the sink no longer triger me.
This mdds things was so confusing and frustating. Your works really help many people and me. GOD BLESS YOUā„ļø

I have been suffering dizziness for 9 weeks not as chronic as some people, but enough to impact my day..
I did this exercise today four times so far and I have really noticed my symptoms have been a lot less so far.
Thank you Dr Yo you're information and knowledge is the best.

This helped so much!

Last time I had MDds, it lasted for 8 months. I currently have it again, thanks to going on a pontoon. MDds makes me so sleepy and unbalanced. I try these exercises and hopefully they will help. Thanks for sharing!

Hi! I started this exercise after 1 month of perceived bobbing up and down so I guess that is more of a front to back motion. I was on an airplane for 8+ hours and had a very turbulent flight due to the trade winds. We had some very deep plunges. I actually was really chill. I slept during part oft he flight and wore my Air Pods Pro earbuds for most of the flight. I chewed gum for most of the trip. I had not noticed any ear "popping" or "plugging". As soon as I got off the plane, I noticed the perception of motion. It continued every since. I had an ENT exam, MRI, neurologist exam, and am scheduled for a vestibular exam (tests) on 12/20. Everything appears normal so far so I may have this MdDs. I did get motion sickness on a small cruise ship many years ago but the perceived motion stopped within a day after debarment. Although my motion sensation is not left to right, but more of a bobbing front to back I was ready to give anything a try. I have been experiencing extreme fatigue, trigeminal nerve pain, very painful muscle tightness in the neck, occipital region, and TMD on only the right side. I'm guessing that my muscles on my right side are very tight from trying to make the motion that is perceived stop. Based on that, I started with the stripes going left to right. Completed my 5 days, 2 days ago and I've experienced no relief. Should I try the right to left now or can you refer me to another video that may be more helpful? I have lots of questions but I'd rather not share online. Do you ever do video consultations?
