Vestibular Stimulation to Trigger Adipose Loss (VeSTAL) Clinical Trial

The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of non-invasive electrical vestibular nerve stimulation (VeNS), together with a lifestyle modification program, as a method of reducing excess body weight and body fat, as compared to a sham control with both study arms incorporating a lifestyle modification program. * Allocation: Randomized * Endpoint classification: Efficacy Study * Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment in 1:1 active to control allocation * The aim of the study is to recruit a total (i.e. across all 4 sites) of 200 participants that pass the screening process and are randomized into the treatment protocols. With a dropout allowance of 10% this should generate a minimum of 90 active treatment and 90 control subjects. * Masking: Double Blind (Subject, Nursing staff, Dietician, Co-coordinators, Outcomes Assessor and any other study staff who have contact with the subject) * Data from all sites will be collated at the end of the studies and analysis will be performed on one data set. This protocol governs the activities at both the USA and NI/UK clinical sites.
