Generally, these sensations may only last for minutes to days. However, for some travelers these sensations can last for months to years. This is so-called persistent MdDS. If this occurs, the primary symptoms of rocking are usually accompanied by a number of equilibrium, cognitive<u>,<\/u> and psychological dysfunctions, which may severely reduce a person&#8217;s quality of life and ability to work. Although MdDS affects all ages, the average age is at middle 40s. More women than man are affected by this syndrome.<\/p>\n<p>Until now, there has been no known treatment for this syndrome. We have provided the first experimental treatment for MdDS since 2014. It is successful in approximately 75% of cases that acquired\u00a0MdDS by motion events, and about 50% of cases that acquired MdDS spontaneously (no apparent motion involved).<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_145\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"width: 1024px\"><a href=\"https:\/\/labs.icahn.mssm.edu\/dailab\/mdds\/cruise\/#main\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-145\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-145\" src=\"https:\/\/labs.icahn.mssm.edu\/dailab\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/202\/2016\/08\/Cruise.jpg\" alt=\"From Hudson River to Atlantic Ocean\" width=\"1024\" height=\"681\" srcset=\"https:\/\/labs.icahn.mssm.edu\/dailab\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/202\/2016\/08\/Cruise.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/labs.icahn.mssm.edu\/dailab\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/202\/2016\/08\/Cruise-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/labs.icahn.mssm.edu\/dailab\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/202\/2016\/08\/Cruise-768x511.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">From Hudson River to Atlantic Ocean.
