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.
Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV) is a benign inner ear disease that causes the patient to experience short episodes of vertigo when there are changes in head position. The current theory on the causes of BPPV is the displacement of the otoconia from the otolith organ to the semicircular canal organs. BPPV's current treatments consist of repositioning maneuvers to readjust the location of the otoconia back to its original place. Even though the treatments are highly successful in many cases, this study, if proven successful, will help confirm this theory and will help diagnose complicated cases where BPPV is recurrent and treatment has been unsuccessful.
The goal of this virtual clinical trial is to determine the effectiveness of two study devices in providing temporary relief to adults aged 18-70 who suffer from symptoms of chronic vertigo. The main question[s] it aims to answer are: - Which device do participants respond better to (that is, find more relief)? - To what degree do participants find relief? Participants will be: - Enrolled up to 49 days; 14 days in Baseline Phase (no device) and 21 days in Treatment Phase (study device) for Study Arm 1 or 28 days in Treatment Phase (study device) for Study Arm 2 - Randomized and stratified into groups based on diagnosis to be assigned a study device - Asked to use the study device as instructed by the study coordinator - Asked to download a study app to submit daily diaries regarding their symptoms and use of device, and to participate in tele-health visits with study coordinators - Asked to provide their vertigo diagnosis from their physician - Compensated for their participation Researchers will compare the randomized groups to see which groups respond better to which device.
Randomized double blind placebo controlled trial of vitamin D supplements, with or without calcium supplementation, versus placebo in reduction of recurrences in BPPV.
Objective of this prospective randomized treatment trial is to compare the effectiveness of the SemontPLUS (SM+) with the Epley maneuver (EM) for the therapy of posterior canal benign paroxysmal positional vertigo canalolithiasis (pcBPPV).
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.
Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo is a most common cause of peripheral vestibular pathology. BPPV may be characterized by sudden changes in the position of the head, such as lying down on one or both sides, looking right or left side .it can occurs either due to canalithiasis or cupulolithiasis, displacement of otoconia or calcium carbonate crystal into fluid filled semicircular canal which sends false signals to central nervous system causing nystagmus and vertigo. BPPV is a self limiting condition characterized by episodic vertigo and nystagmus of brief duration which resolves spontaneously.
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.
