Dizziness, vertigo, and balance problems can be frightening and disruptive. These symptoms may stem from the inner ear (vestibular system), neurological conditions, or other medical issues. To pinpoint the cause, physicians often refer patients for Videonystagmography (VNG) testing—a safe, noninvasive diagnostic tool that evaluates how well your balance and inner ear systems are working.
At ClearCut Rehab & Diagnostics in Fort Worth, we provide comprehensive VNG testing to help identify the source of dizziness, unsteadiness, or unexplained falls, allowing your healthcare team to create the most effective treatment plan.
What Is VNG Testing?
Videonystagmography (VNG) uses advanced infrared video goggles to measure involuntary eye movements called nystagmus. Because your eyes and inner ears work together to maintain balance, abnormal eye movement patterns can reveal whether dizziness or vertigo is caused by a vestibular disorder, neurological condition, or another imbalance in the system.
VNG testing is:
- Noninvasive – no needles, radiation, or surgery required
- Accurate – detects subtle abnormalities that may not appear in other exams
- Comprehensive – evaluates both inner ear and central nervous system function
What to Expect During VNG Testing
A VNG assessment is usually completed in about 60–90 minutes. During the test, you’ll wear a special set of goggles with tiny cameras that track and record your eye movements.
You may be asked to:
- Follow moving lights or targets with your eyes
- Lie in different positions to see how changes affect your balance system
- Experience gentle air or water stimulation in the ears (caloric testing) to measure how each ear responds
- Perform simple balance or head-movement tasks while eye movements are monitored
Throughout the process, our team ensures your comfort and explains each step. While the test may temporarily reproduce dizziness, symptoms usually pass quickly.
