Filter by: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.
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.
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.
A study to establish the efficacy of a new type of mechanical rotational chair in treating BPPV. In addition, comparison of three types of treatment maneuvers using the mechanical rotational chair.
Comparison of treatment efficacy of a mechanical rotational chair (TRV-chair) vs. manual repositioning maneuvers in BPPV
