Clinical Trial Summary

Using the data obtained in a study carried out at the Hospital of Alcañiz (Teruel, Spain) between February and July 2019, with a stabilometric platform and with movement sensors, the investigators want to demonstrate that the rehabilitation works in those patients with vertigo or dizziness of cervical origin. For this, the data obtained from that sample, which was of 67 patients, will be analyzed in a pre-post rehabilitation treatment study, objectifying whether the patients improved or not, both in terms of imbalance and cervical pain, if any.

Description:

Using the data obtained in a study carried out at the Hospital of Alcañiz (Teruel, Spain) between February and July 2019, with a stabilometric platform and with movement sensors, the investigators want to demonstrate that the rehabilitation works in those patients with vertigo or dizziness of cervical origin. For this, the data obtained from that sample, which was of 67 patients, will be analyzed in a pre-post rehabilitation treatment study, objectifying whether the patients improved or not, both in terms of imbalance and cervical pain, if any. The 67 patients attended the rehabilitation consultation where, after taking the anamnesis, they began to perform balance tests with a stabilometric platform and those patients with associated neck pain, with cervical motion sensors. Treatment with conventional physiotherapy, electrotherapy or exercises at home was prescribed as appropriate to each one. 3 months later, the patients were examined again in consultation, using a new anamnesis, the platform and the sensors. With the data obtained in said field work, carried out in 2019, the present study aims to analyze the usefulness of rehabilitation treatment in vertigo.
