Filter by:Rehabilitation Of Balance Function In Patients With Persistent Postural Perceptual Dizziness: A longitudinal Study
This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of virtual reality (VR) and vestibular rehabilitation therapy (VRT) in enhancing balance in individuals with Persistent Postural-Perceptual Dizziness (PPPD). The experimental group received VR combined with VRT and optokinetic stimulation, while the control group received VRT and optokinetic stimulation. The study involved 42 individuals diagnosed with PPPD and administered ten intervention sessions over six weeks. The study also examined the impact of VR on various aspects of PPPD, including dizziness, visual vertigo, mental well-being, sleep quality, fall risk, and overall quality of life.
The purpose of this study: To investigate the effectiveness of non-invasive vagus nerve stimulation and vestibular rehabilitation applications in patients diagnosed with Unilateral Vestibular Hypofunction (UVH).
Study of efficacy and safety of Vespireit, prolonged-release tablets, 15 mg (Valenta Pharm JSC, Russia) in comparison with Arlevert, tablets, 40 mg + 20 mg (Menarini International Operations Luxembourg S.A., Luxembourg) in patients with autonomic dysfunction syndrome accompanied by functional vertigo.
Acute vertigo accounts for around 4% of emergency room visits. Triggered episodic vestibular syndrome is the most commonly encountered symptomatic context. BPPV (Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo) is the main cause, representing 40-50% of the vertigo cases assessed in emergency departments. It results from the migration of calcium carbonate particles (otoliths), from the sticky membrane of the utricle and saccule of the inner ear, to one of the 3 semicircular canals (SCC), posterior, horizontal or lateral, and anterior. It occurs idiopathically with head movement, through degeneration, or following head trauma. The otolith impulse causes the endolymph to move, temporarily and aberrantly displacing the cup of the affected canal, resulting in the transmission of erroneous information to the vestibular nuclei. This leads to the sudden onset of vertigo and eye deviation, resulting in transient nystagmus. The location of the displaced otoliths determines the variant of BPPV: BPPV of the posterior semicircular canal is the most common (around 65% of BPPVs), followed by BPPV of the horizontal canal, while BPPV of the anterior canal is rare, as it resolves spontaneously and rapidly. Although a benign condition, BPPV leads 9 times out of 10 to a medical consultation, interruption of daily activities, or sick leave. Untreated, it will usually recur, and can impact on patients' quality of life.
The objective of the study is to determine the effects of transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation on dizziness and balance on elderly population with unilateral vestibular hypofunction. Patients will be divided into experimental and control group. Randomized participants will be allocated into control and experimental group. Intervention Group A received Vagus Nerve Stimulation (VNS) and Caw Thorne Cooksey exercise while Group group B received Caw Thorne Cooksey exercise only. Both groups received intervention of 30 minutes daily for 4 weeks (16 sessions). Assessment was done at the baseline, after 2 weeks and after 4 weeks
This is prospective, randomised double-blind study that will be conducted in the emergency department of 3 university hospitals (FB Monastir, Sahloul Sousse, and FH Sousse) to compare the efficacy of two doses of diazepam (Valium®) and placebo for the relief of acute periphery vertigo in the ED
Patients with mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) may experience spontaneous recovery within 7-10 days, but some continue to exhibit symptoms such as headache, dizziness, vertigo, poor concentration, and cognitive dysfunction. Effective treatments for these symptoms are currently lacking. Frequency Specific Microcurrent(FSM) has received approval from the U.S. FDA for use in neuroinflammatory conditions. Our study aims to evaluate the efficacy of FSM by using FSM device ,IS02LCDs Stimulator (Ru Yi Health ltd. Co,Taiwan R.O.C), on symptom improvement in 52 patients with mild TBI
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 goal of this clinical trial is to compare outcomes for standard vestibular rehabilitation home program to a digital vestibular rehabilitation home program in adults with dizziness related to mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI). The main question is whether participants who use the digital format of vestibular rehabilitation improve to a greater extent at discharge than those who use the standard format. Participants will undergo a customized vestibular rehabilitation home exercise program per standard of care, consisting of gaze stabilization, habituation, balance and gait exercises, and endurance training under the supervision of a physical therapist. Participants will complete the gaze stabilization and habituation exercises 2-3 times per day and the balance and gait exercises 1 time per day for 4 weeks. Participants will be tested before and after the 4-week intervention. At the initial session, the researcher will perform standard clinical tests of the inner ear balance system. Also at the initial session, the researcher will perform standard clinical tests of balance and walking and questionnaires about the impact of dizziness on daily activities. At the final session, the researcher will repeat the tests of balance and walking and questionnaires. Three months after completing the intervention participants will complete an online questionnaire about the impact of dizziness on daily activities.
