rTMS Plus Vestibular Rehabilitation as an Adjunct Treatment for Fall Risk and Postural Instability for Chronic Vestibular Dizziness Patients/ Chronic Labyrinthitis — rTMS  

Peripheral Vestibular Disorders Clinical Trial

Official title: rTMS Plus Vestibular Rehabilitation as an Adjunct Treatment for Fall Risk and Postural Instability for Chronic Vestibular Dizziness Patients, Double Blinded RCT

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

Falling is one of the most common consequences of vestibular dizziness. Most of patients with vestibular dysfunction suffer from balance disorders, postural instability and vertigo that may lead to life threating complications as fractures and brain injuries. Non invasive brain stimulation techniques such as repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) have been investigated as therapeutic interventions for various neurological disorders like motor deficits and balance disorders after various neurological deficits. To investigate the effect of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) added to supervised vestibular rehabilitation program on balance and postural stability in patients with vestibular dizziness

Clinical Trial Description

The subjects of both genders with age 40 to 65 will be allocated randomly into two equal groups A and B. Group A Outcomes measure will include : Berg balance scale, computerized dynamic posturography (CDP) . Assessment will be done before and after treatment sessions. ;
