Filter by:- Vertigo complaint is one of the common cause of patients who applied to emergency services. - Patients who have applied to emergency services with vertigo complaint mostly have nausea as an additionally symptom to this complaint and anti-emetic agents can be used in their treatments very often. - The investigators purpose is to investigate the advantages of Dimenhydrinate and metoclopramide to each other in the treatment of vertigo and the vertigo accompanied by nausea
The VERTIGO study is likely to help determine characteristics of different types of vertigo in patients presenting in the Ear Nose & Throat (ENT) clinics with complaints of dizziness. Moreover, it will also help to develop an understanding about the current management practices of this condition at local level.
Outpatients that suffer from different anxiety disorders may have physical ailments that negatively affect daily life functioning and quality of life. LOF is a physical therapy approach focusing on the link between bodily and mental balance and through defined, but simple movements, patients are expected to learn how to cope and reduce health complaints. This study aims to investigate the short- and longterm effect of LOF compared to other standardized psychiatric treatments given in the clinic on levels of anxiety and depression, health related function and quality of life.
This double-blinded study evaluates the frequency of vertigo attacks and the quality of life of patients diagnosed with Ménière's disease after being randomly assigned to take a placebo or lamotrigine.
Study Description and Purpose: The vestibular sense organs of the inner ear consist of the semi-circular canals and otolith end organs. These organs contain specialized gravito-inertial sensors that sense angular and linear head acceleration. The input from these sensors is required to stabilize gaze position during head motion, and provide an absolute frame of reference with respect to gravity, thus providing a vertical spatial reference for body orientation and balance. Disease or damage of the vestibular sense organs causes a range of distressing symptoms and functional problems for people that could include loss of balance, gaze instability, disorientation and dizziness. A novel computer based rehabilitation system with therapeutic gaming application has been developed. This method allows different gaze and head movement exercises to be coupled to a wide range of inexpensive, commercial computer games. It can be used in standing and thus graded balance demands using a sponge pad can be incorporated into the program. Study Objective: 1. Test the therapeutic effectiveness of the TRP delivered in the home compared to usual care delivered in an out-patient physical therapy clinic on measures of balance (standing and walking) , gaze control, dizziness, and health related quality of life in individuals with peripheral vestibular disorders. 2. Compare trajectory of change in electronic gaze performance measures obtained during each therapy session of each participant assigned to the home Telerehabilitation. Hypothesis: Investigators believe the Telerehabilitation platform to be a cost-effective delivery of rehabilitation. Additionally motivation to perform tedious home programs can be improved with engaging, fun and interactive computer gaming as part of the rehabilitation process. It is hypothesized the home game-based Telerehabilitation program will result in greater improvements in dynamic balance control, gaze control, and dizziness, in individuals with peripheral vestibular disorders as compared to a typical out-patient physical therapy regimen.
- Evaluation of the non inferiority of Meclin (meclizine) versus Dramin (Dimenhydrinate) to treat the symptoms of acute vertigo from peripheral origin after up to 4 weeks of treatment; - Evaluation of impact on quality of life in vertigo; - Compare the intensity of daytime sleepiness in the two treatment groups; - Compare the efficacy of drugs in relieving each of the 10 symptoms that make up the VS; - Compare the duration of treatment in both treatment groups; - Compare Adehence; - Compare the level of satisfaction from each group from the investigators and the subjects; - Adverse events;
Researchers are gathering information on the safety and effectiveness of a new device called the BalanceBelt.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether the supplementation of vitamin D and calcium prevents recurrences of benign paroxysmal positional vertigo in patients with vitamin D deficiency/insufficiency.
The purpose of this study was to compare the treatment effectiveness of three different methods for posterior semicircular canal benign paroxysmal positional vertigo. The included methods are Modified Epley maneuver, Semont maneuver and Sham maneuver.
In this study, we will evaluate the diagnostic yield of the new AliveCor device versus a 14 day event monitor with the use of both devices simultaneously. We will also examine by means of a questionnaire the compliance, ease of use and patient satisfaction for each device. Hypothesis: 1. The AliveCor monitor will be non-inferior to the 14 day event monitor with respect to diagnosis of the arrhythmia responsible for a patient's symptoms. 2. The AliveCor monitor will have better compliance and acceptability compared to the 14 day event monitor, and thus there will be a greater number of days with recordings from the AliveCor monitor.
