Acute cochleo-vestibular syndrome or labyrinthitis is characterized clinically by the sudden appearance of a great rotatory vertigo and a unilateral sensorineural hearing loss. In this clinical context, MRI is the examination to eliminate differential diagnoses and to make a positive diagnosis of labyrinthitis (supposedly infectious, immunologic or ischemic). The etiologies described are ischemic, infectious or autoimmune, so the risk factors are very variable (cardiovascular, autoimmune or infectious). Labyrinthitis has been little studied as a clinical entity in its own right. Indeed, studies mainly focus on sudden deafness with subgroups of patients with vertigo. The incidence of sudden deafness is of the order of 5 to 20 per 100,000 people per year but is probably under-diagnosed. The individual and medico-economic consequences are similar to those of hearing loss, with an increased risk of dementia, depression, premature death and an increase in health care consumption.
BPPV is the most common cause of vertigo. The pathophysiology of BPPV has not been cleared, several studies show that symptoms are caused by the displacement of otoconia from the macula of the utricle into the semicircular canals. These calcium carbonate particles then stimulate non-physiological movement of the endolymph leading to a false sensation of angular acceleration. Biomarkers represent measurable products of biological processes, thus making an assessment of those processes more practical. Biomarkers in circulation are powerful indicators of normal and pathological biological processes, as well as, responses to pharmacological treatments. The inner ear-inclusive protein that has been published included Otolin-1, Otoconin-90/95, Prestin, Otoancorin, Otogelin, α-tectorin, β-tectorin and Cochlin.
Study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Buspirone, sustained-release tablets, 15 mg in patients with autonomic dysfunction syndrome accompanied by vertigo
Cervical pain contributes to postural deviations and imbalance. Nanotechnology may be used for the treatment of neck pain by fixing to the skin small rounds silicone patches containing double spiral carbon nanotubes arranged in the form of a coil (Helical), which would then relieve dizziness caused by muscular contraction.
The aim of this research is to compare the effects of habituation exercises versus proprioceptive training on vertigo, balance, dizziness and quality of life in the individuals having benign paroxysmal positional vertigo. A randomized controlled trial that will include total 39 participants .The first group will receive habituation exercises for six weeks, three times per week for thirty minutes, along with conventional vestibular rehabilitation therapy. The second group will receive proprioceptive training for six weeks, three times per week for 30 minutes, along with vestibular rehabilitation therapy. The third group will only receive vestibular rehabilitation therapy. Data collected will be analyzed through SPSS 25.
120 male and female patients aged between 18-65 years who apply to the outpatient clinic and diagnosed with TMD will be included in the study. Patients will be divided into 3 groups as Muscle Disorders (Group 1), Temporomandibular Joint Disorders (Group 2) and degenerative joint diseas (osteoarthrosis) (Group 3) according to DC/TMD axis I diagnostic criteria. maximum mouth opening, TMJ sound, pain levels, tinnitus, and dizziness are evaluated.
Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV) is characterized by short, recurrent and intense episodes of vertigo. Repositioning maneuvers have been used for its treatment however, evidence indicated recurrence with these maneuvers. However, the effectiveness of this intervention for improving dynamic and static balance in patients with BPPV is unknown. Vestibular rehabilitation through Caw-throne and Cooksey exercises improves dizziness, balance and gives postural stability. This study aims to determine effects of these exercises in improving the residual symptoms of dizziness and balance impairments after CRM. This randomized controlled trial will recruit patients through convenience sampling. Diagnosed patients of BPPV will be confirmed for inclusion through Dix-Hallpike test. Patients presenting with other neurological, orthopedic or metabolic conditions, patients who have had exposure to any balance exercises or other forms of training that can influence results will also be excluded to limit confounding factors A sample of 26 patients will be taken and divided into two groups each with 13 patients. Group A will receive conventional physical therapy while group B will receive Vestibular Rehabilitation exercises with the conventional physical therapy protocol. The conventional physical therapy protocol will include Cervical stretches and Basic Balance Exercises. The session will be around 40 min on each patient with three session per week on alternate days.The study will evaluate patients through Vertigo symptom Scale (to identify vertigo), Dizziness Handicap Inventory (to identify dizziness),Berg Balance Scale (to identify balance and risk of fall). The data will be analyzed using SPPS software.
Comparison of treatment efficacy of an automated robotic maneuvering system (RMS) repositioning chair versus manual positioning maneuvers in Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo.
The aim of this research is to assess effects of Oculomotor and VOR exercises on vertigo, dizziness and balance in patients with BPPV. Randomized controlled trial was conducted at Hameed Latif Hospital, Lahore. The sample size 32 participants which were divided into two groups, 16 participants in traditional physical therapy group and 16 in oculomotor and vestibular ocular reflex exercises group. Study duration was of 6 months. Sampling technique applied was non-probability consecutive sampling technique. Only 30-70 years individuals with Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV) were included. Tools used in the study are vertigo handicap questionnaire, visual vertigo analogue scale, dizziness handicap inventory, berg balance scale and dynamic gait index. The data was analyzed using SPSS.
