The physical effects of space motion sickness are similar to those caused
by vertigo on Earth. Dr. John L. Dornhoffer is determining whether drugs
used to treat vertigo will also be effective for treating space motion
sickness. Since medication side effects could cause problems in space,
the drugs will be evaluated for their ability to treat motion sickness
without impairing cognitive function.
