Filter by:In this research, the main purpose is to determine the effects of Circuit Training consisting of Structured Vestibular rehabilitation Program under the strict supervision of Neuro-Therapist versus Medicines and General (simple) Rehabilitation (only Home-based) in community-dwelling population of people diagnosed with Vestibular disorders. A booklet consisting of general instructions, simple vestibular exercises which are to be made a part of daily routine, specific diet plan and specific precautions to be taken by patients reporting with vertigo, oscillopsia and dizziness will also be provided to all the patients. This is a community service addition, added so that everyone in the society can have easy access to the instructions, will be cost effective, and will reduce their visits to the therapist.
No studies have explored how patients with chronic dizziness react to a diagnosis of Persistent Postural Perceptual Dizziness (3PD) and their beliefs and representations of the diagnostic label. Investigating the experience of diagnostic labelling from the perspective of patients will allow clinicians to recognise whether this is a helpful term to adopt and ways to improve the clinical consultation. This is a qualitative study that will consist of semi-structured interviews with people with a new diagnosis of 3PD. The main objective of the study is to explore how patients react to this diagnostic label, what they understand about their diagnosis and how their own meanings affect their expectations and illness perceptions. Between 12-15 patients will be recruited from the balance clinic at Guy's Hospital, London, UK. The qualitative data will be analysed using thematic analysis which will draw on pragmatic interpretive descriptive methodology.
The primary objective of the study is to test whether the tested Product LACIME Anti-hangover is effective in preventing the signs and symptoms of alcohol-induced hangover (such as headache, impaired memory, depression, anxiety, weakness, trouble sleeping and concentrating, nausea, dizziness, sleepiness, thirsty, dry mouth, sweating, sensitivity to light and sounds, vision problems) in healthy subjects.
This Stage II randomized, controlled, longitudinal trial seeks to assess the acceptability, feasibility, and effects of a driving decision aid use among geriatric patients and providers. This multi-site trial will (1) test the driving decision aid (DDA) in improving decision making and quality (knowledge, decision conflict, values concordance and behavior intent); and (2) determine its effects on specific subpopulations of older drivers (stratified for cognitive function, decisional capacity, and attitudinally readiness for a mobility transition). The overarching hypotheses are that the DDA will help older adults make high-quality decisions, which will mitigate the negative psychosocial impacts of driving reduction, and that optimal DDA use will target certain populations and settings.
There is currently no score in French for evaluating disorders of the child's balance. Only one questionnaire was validated in the child in English in 2016, the " Pediatric Vestibular Symptom Questionnaire ". The objective of the research is to validate the French translation of this questionnaire.
Vertigo is a common complaint in the Emergency Department (ED). The differential diagnosis of central and peripheral vertigo is a difficult issue that directly affects mortality. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the preferred diagnostic tool, but may not be suitable in all patients due to logistic and economic conditions. In this study, the investigators evaluated the role of thiol/disulfide homeostasis (TDH) parameters and ischemia modified albumin (IMA) levels to assist in the value of being used instead of MRI.
Participants from 14 different countries received a single session of biofield therapy (Okada Purifying Therapy) lasting 30 minutes or longer from the volunteer practitioners. Before and after the therapy, they reported the severity of physical pain, anxiety/depression, dizziness/palpitation, and overall symptoms. The team compared the effectiveness/safety of biofield therapy between countries and analyzed the factors associated with the outcomes.
This study evaluated the value of using copetin and protein S 100 b to eliminate the diagnosis of stroke in patients presenting with vertigo in emergency departments. All patients benefited from the S 100b protein assay, copeptin and brain MRI.
The primary aim of this study is to determine whether the prevalence of neuroticism, anxiety and body vigilance is higher in patients diagnosed with PPPD compared to those who suffered a vestibular insult but did not develop PPPD and healthy controls. An increased prevalence of one or more of these factors may identify them as risk factors in the development of PPPD. The secondary aim is to understand how PPPD affects quality of life.
Treatment of vertigo after removal of a tumor of the balance and hearing nerve after neurosurgery, which damages or cuts the vestibular nerve (balance). This trial explores the efficacy and safety of AM-125 in the treatment of acute vertigo. In this proof of concept trial patients experiencing vertigo after neurosurgery (vestibular schwannoma labyrinthectomy and vestibular neurectomy) will receive AM-125 or placebo. It evaluates the potential of AM-125 versus placebo in reducing the symptoms of vestibular dysfunction and accelerating vestibular compensation following neurosurgery.
