Filter by:Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) is a vestibular disorder that manifests itself as a result of dizziness caused by the otoconia in the inner ear coming out of their places and circulating freely in the semicircular canals or by attaching to the cupula and sensitizing the cupula to head movements against gravity. The aim of the study is to compare the effectiveness of pharmacological treatment initiated by the physician and vestibular rehabilitation initiated by physiotherapist in patients with acute benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV). Thirty patients, aged 18-50 years, who applied to the Bağcılar Safa Hospital, were included in the study. The patients were divided into two groups, 15 pharmacological control group and 15 vestibular rehabilitation group. 8 patients in the pharmacological control group were given the drug containing betahistine by the physician, and 7 patients received the drug containing additional dimenhydrinate to the betahistine. In the rehabilitation group, exercises including head and eye movements and maneuvering were performed according to the direction of the canal after the exercise, and the patients were given a home exercise program. Treatment continued for 4 weeks. Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), dynamic visual acuity test, romberg, semitandem, tandem posture tests with a stopwatch, standing test on one leg with eyes open and closed, and unterberger tests were applied to patients before and after treatment.
The feelings of imbalance, unsteadiness, and disorientation with cervicogenic dizziness is not clear. It has been suggested that a disruption of the normal afferent signals from the upper cervical proprioceptors to the vestibular nucleus results in an inaccurate depiction of head and neck orientation in space due to highly developed proprioceptive system that allows the neuromuscular control of cervical spine and effective use of vital organs in the head through unique connections to the vestibular and visual systems. Motor Control Therapeutic Exercises and vestibular exercises have been used to increase motor control and reduce pain and disability in patients with neck pain.
This analysis aims to evaluate the immediate effect that cervical sustained natural apophyseal glides (SNAGs) have on a group of individuals with induced vertigo by a caloric vestibular stimulation.
Despite successful maneuver applications in the treatment of BPPV, complaints of balance problems and dizziness persist. Many studies supports the notion that virtual reality (VR) allowing visual-vestibular interaction with a large number of visual stimuli, contribute to successful outcomes in BPPV. VR applications using eye tracking algorithms and 'glasses' can be effective however. The research to date covers the VR technologies on the treatment of BPPV, however, there is no research comparing the effects of 2D and 3D VR gaming technologies with a control group. Therefore, this study aims to examine the effects of different virtual reality applications and vestibular rehabilitation on gait, reaction time, balance functions, activities of daily living, and quality of life in individuals with benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) having residual dizziness and balance problems.
The recently emerged coronavirus named Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARSCoV-2) is the newest threat to human health. It has already infected more than half a million people worldwide, leading to a lot of deaths. Patients with Coronavirus Disease 2019(COVID-19) will experience high levels of anxiety and low sleep quality due to isolation treatment. Purposes: Was to investigate the effect of aerobics and balancing exercises on anxiety and dizziness in patients with COVID-19. Subjects: Thirty anxiety and dizziness patients with COVID-19 aged from 45-65 years of both sexes, randomly divided into two groups, selected from outpatient clinic ,General
People that have difficulty with balance, such as those with damage to their inner ear, have a higher risk of falling, which may lead to anxiety and reduced quality of life. Some individuals that have lost part of their sense of balance can learn to compensate using information from their vision, their sense of where their limbs are in space, and from other balance organs that are still intact. Our study aims to determine if virtual reality used together with information from footplate sensors can be used to train people with balance problems to compensate for their inner ear deficits.
Randomized, 3-arm controlled clinical study, to evaluate the effectiveness of supplementation with Vertistop® D (food supplement containing alpha-lipoic acid at modified release, Carnosine and Zinc, Vitamin D and Vitamins B) and Vertistop® L (food supplement containing fast releasing alpha-lipoic acid, Carnosine, Zinc and Curcumin) in preventing recurrence of high-recurrence BPPV (Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo)
There is paucity of literature in studying the comparative effects of Vestibular Rehabilitation and Virtual Reality. This study will determine the effects of these interventions on dizziness, balance and gait. This study will also deduce the role of vestibular rehabilitation and Virtual reality in subacute stroke patients
