Falling is one of the most common consequences of vestibular dizziness. Most of patients with vestibular dysfunction suffer from balance disorders, postural instability and vertigo that may lead to life threating complications as fractures and brain injuries. Non invasive brain stimulation techniques such as repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) have been investigated as therapeutic interventions for various neurological disorders like motor deficits and balance disorders after various neurological deficits. To investigate the effect of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) added to supervised vestibular rehabilitation program on balance and postural stability in patients with vestibular dizziness
The subjects of both genders with age 40 to 65 will be allocated randomly into two equal groups A and B. Group A Outcomes measure will include : Berg balance scale, computerized dynamic posturography (CDP) . Assessment will be done before and after treatment sessions.

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| Group A (r TMS group) | Experimental | Twenty eight randomly assigned patients with peripheral vestibular disorders will undergo 10 Hz rTMS to the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex of their dominant hemisphere; in addition to designed vestibular rehabilitation exercises. Device: repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation high frequency (10 HZ) rTMS pulses are applied to the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex of the dominant hemisphere. |
|
| Control (Group B) (placebo rTMS) | Placebo Comparator | Twenty eight randomly assigned patients with peripheral vestibular disorders will undergo placebo rTMS plus designed vestibular rehabilitation exercises. |
