The investigators will test a new rehabilitation protocol on patients with persistent postural perceptual dizziness (PPPD). The investigators hypothesize that patients with PPPD, in the absence of vestibular deficits, do not benefit from standard vestibular rehabilitation but instead need a rehabilitation that acts on visual and postural stability, through training of saccadic movements in dynamic contexts of cognitive-motor dual-task and rehabilitation of postural stability.
Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) is a common inner ear disorder characterized by brief episodes of vertigo caused by changes in head position. The condition can cause significant func-tional impairment and reduced quality of life. BPPV is especially common among diabetic patients. The Epley-Canalith Repositioning Procedure (CRP) and Vestibular Rehabilitation Therapy (VRT) are two commonly used interventions for the treatment of BPPV. The objective of this paper is to determine the effective therapy among Epley-Canalith Repositioning Procedure and Vestibular Rehabilitation for improving balance and posture control in Diabetic patients with Benign Parox-ysmal Positional Vertigo. Thirty subjects with Diabetes Mellitus (Type 2) suffering from Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV) were recruited for the study and randomly assigned to groups A and B, underwent Canalith Repositioning Procedure and Vestibular Rehabilitation Therapy respectively. The outcome measures of the study were Vertigo Symptom Scale- Short Form (VSS-sf) score and Berg Balance Scale Form (BBS) score assessed at pre -treatment (pre) and 4 weeks post treatment (post).
The goal of this study is to compare the heart signals that are received by a new heart monitoring device called the HeartWatch to heart signals that are recorded by existing monitors used in cardiology clinics today. The main question[s] it aims to answer are: 1. Does the HeartWatch recording allow characterization of tagged and abnormal arrhythmia events that are equivalent to the existing Event Recorder and Holter devices? 2. Does the HeartWatch recording allow for detection of QRS complexes that are equivalent to the predicate Holter lead I reference signal? Participants who have been recommended to receive a heart monitor for heart rhythm assessment will asked to wear the HeartWatch armband monitor at the same time as the standard heart monitor. They will be asked to flag symptoms (if they occur) on either the HeartWatch or on the Helpwear Smartphone. When their monitoring session for the standard heart monitor is complete, then the monitoring session for the HeartWatch armband is also complete.
An assessment of the effectiveness of Stellate Ganglion Block in alleviating symptoms of Long COVID-19.
The study involves the evaluation of 3 groups of subjects (3-arm study). Patients diagnosed with BPPV and "sufficient" serum concentrations of Vitamin D (>30 ng/mL, >75 nmol/L) at baseline may be treated with 2 tablets per day (morning and evening) of Vertistop® L ( Alpha-lipoic acid, carnosine, zinc and curcumin) or untreated, on the basis of the randomization criterion to which they will be assigned. Patients with Vitamin D "deficiency" (<20 ng/mL, <50 nmol/L) or Vitamin D "insufficient" (20-30 ng/mL, 50-75 nmol/L) at baseline, or subsequent follow-up, they will be treated for 2 months with Vertistop® D (alpha-lipoic acid, carnosine and zinc, vitamin D3 and vitamins of the B complex) taking 1 tablet a day (before meals). The main purpose of the study is to evaluate, over a period of 6 months, the efficacy of Vertistop® D and Vertistop® L supplementation in preventing recurrences of BPPV (Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo), in relation to blood levels of Vitamin D.
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about the cause of dizziness and decline in walking ability in in older adults ≥65 years during chemotherapy treatment for colorectal cancer. Another goal is to investigate if a comprehensive geriatric assessment and three months' specialized physical group-based exercise three times/week can counteract muscle weakness, vertigo, instability, impaired walking balance, and neuropathy
The purpose of the study is to determine physical and mental health issues of U.K. embryologists related to their occupational characteristics, and how workplace fatigue and burnout may affect their quality of life, cynicism, interactions with patients, attention to detail, and lead to human error, the cause of the most severe IVF incidents that often make headlines and result in costly litigation. It will also correlate how the current manual workflows contribute to these health issues, and what measures can be taken to improve both working conditions and embryologists' health, and, therefore, improve patient care.
To determine the effects of gaze stabilization exercises on dizziness, balance and quality of life in patients with cervical spondylosis.
Vertigo is defined as the hallucination of spinning sensation or rotatory movement and is frequently combined with severe nausea and vomiting. In Taiwan, an average of 3.13 cases per 100 persons suffer from acute vertigo attack per year. And 1 in 3 patients with vertigo will have recurrent attack within a year. The sensation of disequilibrium and severe nausea and vomiting urge patients visit emergent department (ED) for help. Therefore, vertigo is one of the most common complaints in ED. Vertigo can be divided into central type and peripheral type. Central type vertigo included life threatening disease like brainstem hemorrhage or infraction. Although peripheral vertigo is mostly benign, the acute symptoms relief are usually needed. The first line therapy of acute peripheral vertigo is using antihistamine or benzodiazepine with other anti-emetic agents. However, these agents usually have side effects of fatigue and lethargy, which will cause increasing patients' length of stay or elders' risk of falling. Sodium bicarbonate is widely used in treating hyperkalemia or metabolic acidosis. Its safety and no side effect have also been proved. There were few reports of using sodium for treatment of acute vertigo in Taiwan and Japan. However, there is no strong evidence of comparing this therapy with other medication. This study hypothesized that there is an equivalence of efficacy between sodium bicarbonate and diphenhydramine for treatment of vertigo. Using sodium can cause less fatigue or lethargy and can decrease ED length of stay. This study aims to perform a double-blinded randomized controlled trial to evaluate the efficacy of sodium bicarbonate for treatment of acute peripheral vertigo.
