Filter by:The main objective is to analyze the abnormality of physical condition, mental health and blood examination of the patients with benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV). Besides, the investigators aim to establish a database of BPPV based on multimodal magnetic resonance imaging data in the brain to identify high-risk patients with residual dizziness (RD) and systematically establish the comprehensive assessment system for the precise diagnosis, treatment and recovery of RD, optimize the tactics of BPPV management in China.
The aim is to investigate the accuracy of manual diagnostics of benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) by comparing it to BPPV diagnostics in mechanical rotational chair (TRV chair). VNG (videonystagmography) goggles will be used in both scenarios. Furthermore, the investigators will examine the importance of angulation and velocity in relation to the diagnostic outcome.
Comparison of treatment efficacy of Epley maneuver and 360 maneuver in a mechanical rotational chair (TRV chair) in patient with posterior benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV).
The study evaluates the implementation of evidence-based practice for the management of patients with dizziness in the emergency department (ED) within a large integrated health care system. The clinical focus is on benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV), unilateral vestibulopathy (e.g., vestibular neuritis), and stroke - which are disorders with established evidence-base practices for evaluation and management. Evidence-based practices for these clinical topics have not properly disseminated regarding dizziness visits, and this results in missed opportunities for effective and efficient care delivery. The investigators propose a hybrid type 3 effectiveness-implementation trial to evaluate an enhanced BPPV-centric implementation strategy and clinical intervention. The overall strategy, initially developed in Dizziness Treatment through Implementation & Clinical strategy Tactics-1 (DIZZTINCT-1), will be improved to increase generalizability, convenience, exposures, sustainability, and dissemination. We use an innovative design of a stepped-wedge trial for the ED-level implementation strategy and an embedded randomized patient-level dissemination strategy. As a result, we can closely assess the individual and additive impact of study components. We will evaluate effectiveness of the implementation strategy and also confirm clinical outcomes.
BPPV is a benign condition of the balance organ, localized in the inner ear, in which calcium crystals loosen up and move freely in the endolymphatic fluid of the inner ear (more specifically in the semi-circular canals). During certain posture changes or head movements, these moving calcium crystals cause dizziness and balance problems. The general objective of the study is to evaluate the impact of BPPV on the balance of older adults in nursing homes. For this purpose, we will compare the balance of residents with BPPV with residents without BPPV. Furthermore, we will identify the impact of treatment on balance problems and fall risk in older adults in nursing homes.
