In a provisionally accepted pre-print study conducted by Shi et al. (2025), non-pharmacological methods for a reduction in motion intolerance were explored. This study included 109 students with a history of motion intolerance from a Chinese university. Researchers looked for differences in Graybiel scores (a survey of symptoms related to motion intolerance) and cardiac changes (blood pressure and heart rate variability) before and after specific motion intolerance treatments. The researchers compared an electric rotating chair (ERG) group to a visual-motion cage rotating chair (VMC) group. Although both treatment groups showed improvement in Graybiel scores, blood pressure, and heart rate variability, those treated with ERG showed greatest improvement. This study supports the efficacy of motion-based non-pharmacological treatment for motion intolerance.
Specifics related to ERG and VMC can be more closely analyzed after this article reaches final print.
