Filter by:Acute cochleo-vestibular syndrome or labyrinthitis is characterized clinically by the sudden appearance of a great rotatory vertigo and a unilateral sensorineural hearing loss. In this clinical context, MRI is the examination to eliminate differential diagnoses and to make a positive diagnosis of labyrinthitis (supposedly infectious, immunologic or ischemic). The etiologies described are ischemic, infectious or autoimmune, so the risk factors are very variable (cardiovascular, autoimmune or infectious). Labyrinthitis has been little studied as a clinical entity in its own right. Indeed, studies mainly focus on sudden deafness with subgroups of patients with vertigo. The incidence of sudden deafness is of the order of 5 to 20 per 100,000 people per year but is probably under-diagnosed. The individual and medico-economic consequences are similar to those of hearing loss, with an increased risk of dementia, depression, premature death and an increase in health care consumption.
The study evaluates the implementation of evidence-based practice for the management of patients with dizziness in the emergency department (ED) within a large integrated health care system. The clinical focus is on benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV), unilateral vestibulopathy (e.g., vestibular neuritis), and stroke - which are disorders with established evidence-base practices for evaluation and management. Evidence-based practices for these clinical topics have not properly disseminated regarding dizziness visits, and this results in missed opportunities for effective and efficient care delivery. The investigators propose a hybrid type 3 effectiveness-implementation trial to evaluate an enhanced BPPV-centric implementation strategy and clinical intervention. The overall strategy, initially developed in Dizziness Treatment through Implementation & Clinical strategy Tactics-1 (DIZZTINCT-1), will be improved to increase generalizability, convenience, exposures, sustainability, and dissemination. We use an innovative design of a stepped-wedge trial for the ED-level implementation strategy and an embedded randomized patient-level dissemination strategy. As a result, we can closely assess the individual and additive impact of study components. We will evaluate effectiveness of the implementation strategy and also confirm clinical outcomes.
This is a randomized, controlled, multi-center clinical trail to objectively evaluate safety and efficacy of shi's traumatology Osteopathic manipulative treatment for cervicogenic dizziness. Multi-center study is planned to be carried out in 4 medical institutions in Shanghai, including Shuguang Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Yueyang traditional chinese and western medicine Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Baoshan traditional chinese and western medicine Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, and Shanghai General Hospital. Randomly Assigned 106 patients (18 < ages <65 ) who meet the diagnostic criteria of cervicogenic dizziness to the treatment group and the control group by a ratio of 1:1, using betahistine mesylate tablets as positive control. Observe and compare the variations of Dizziness Handicap Inventory (DHI) from baseline in two groups after 2 weeks treatment, using Dizziness Handicap Inventory (DHI) as the main efficacy index. After the end of treatment, performing 4weeks follow-up, focus to compare the recurrence rate of vertigo symptoms in the period of 4weeks follow-up after 2 weeks treatment. The safety indexes will be observed and compared, including vital sign, physical examination and adverse event, in the trail. The electronic case Report Form (eCRF) will be used to collect and manage the study data. The data of the primary efficacy index, DHI, patient's vertigo condition report, both use electronic patient-reported outcome (e-PRO) to collect. To ensure quality of study, this trail intends to set safeguard measures for clinical trail including setting Clinical Research Associate (CRA) to monitor study quality, evaluating efficacy by the third person, training manual therapy physicians, make access and regular and irregular assessment consistent.
Background: Vertigo as acute symptom seem to be one of most common presentation in ED, can be treated in ED with multiple medication . Objective: This study aimed to compare the therapeutic efficacy of metoclopramide, promethazine and prochloroperazine in patients presenting with signs and symptoms suggestive of acute peripheral vertigo to the ED . Methods: A 3-arm multi-center, randomized, double-blind, controlled study comparing three treatments for acute vertigo in three medical centers : AlNahdha hospital , Sohar Hospital and AFH hospital. Oman From February 2022 to February 2023.
Exploratory posturological, neurosensory, cognitive, emotional, personality and general evaluations (quality of life). The investigators will characterize a sensory profile quantified by one or more scores from a multi-parameter baysian approach. Each parameter and these scores will be correlated to the type of vestibular damage and its recovery in order to establish diagnostic, prognostic and therapeutic follow-up markers.
The goal of this study is to assess the safety and efficacy of JGT (Jaeumgeonbi-Tang). A randomized, double-blind, parallel-group, placebo-controlled clinical trial was conducted and changes in symptoms and quality of life of the patients were evaluated.
Given the rising rates of concussion in youth ages 10-19 and the significant proportion of young people who remain symptomatic for months following concussion, research evaluating the efficacy of multifaceted treatment options following concussion is imperative. Studies examining the efficacy of treatment strategies following concussion in children and adults are surprisingly limited, and most focus on one treatment approach, have small sample sizes, are not randomized controlled trials, and focus on individuals with prolonged recovery (months). There is a need for a multifaceted treatment trial to examine the early implementation of treatment approaches that may reduce prolonged recovery while considering the heterogeneous presentation of symptoms and patient preferences in the sub-acute stage following concussion. Randomized controlled trials that consider a multifaceted transdisciplinary approach to treatment in the early period following concussion are needed to raise the bar regarding evidence-informed management following concussion
BPPV is the most common cause of vertigo. The pathophysiology of BPPV has not been cleared, several studies show that symptoms are caused by the displacement of otoconia from the macula of the utricle into the semicircular canals. These calcium carbonate particles then stimulate non-physiological movement of the endolymph leading to a false sensation of angular acceleration. Biomarkers represent measurable products of biological processes, thus making an assessment of those processes more practical. Biomarkers in circulation are powerful indicators of normal and pathological biological processes, as well as, responses to pharmacological treatments. The inner ear-inclusive protein that has been published included Otolin-1, Otoconin-90/95, Prestin, Otoancorin, Otogelin, α-tectorin, β-tectorin and Cochlin.
Study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Buspirone, sustained-release tablets, 15 mg in patients with autonomic dysfunction syndrome accompanied by vertigo
Cervical pain contributes to postural deviations and imbalance. Nanotechnology may be used for the treatment of neck pain by fixing to the skin small rounds silicone patches containing double spiral carbon nanotubes arranged in the form of a coil (Helical), which would then relieve dizziness caused by muscular contraction.
