View clinical trials related to Vertigo, Paroxysmal.
Filter by:The purpose of this study was to investigated effectiveness of temporamandibular joint and soft tissue mobilization on patients with Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV).
Objectives: To verify the effectiveness of a blended course in PC to improve adherence to clinical practice guidelines. Design: randomized community trial, by clusters (control group -CG- / intervention group -IG-) Scope: 20 PCT (primary care teams)(10 per group) Outcome variables will be: Diagnostic records (proportion of nonspecific diagnoses such as dizziness and vertigo, with respect to specific diagnoses such as BPPV, vestibular neuritis); Derivations to otorhinolaryngologist (ENT) and neurologist; Prescription of antivertiginous medications and Number of days off work caused by vertigo-related. Statistical analysis:Descriptive statistics of all the baseline variables will be carried out and, the differences between groups in the post-intervention outcome variables will be evaluated through the t-test. In the IG, a multivariate logistic regression model will identify response patterns based on the baseline variables of professionals and centers
This study is important as there are numbers of BPPV patients presenting to outpatient departments which needs more efficient techniques for management of BPPV. Talking about literature, there are numbers of studies done on different maneuvers but there is yet no study available which compares these maneuvers. So the purpose of this study is to compare these techniques to find which one is more effective in treating PC-BPPV.
Dizziness (BPPV) causes severe deterioration in quality of life, incoordination, and instability. In the study, we selected a minimum of 100 patients with BPPV who were examined after specialist care. After the acute phase, a physical survey is performed where movement and coordination are examined. After the results, the patients undergo a rehabilitation training. The workout is submaximal and high intensity that is done for 3 weeks. Hypothesis: As a result of training, it is possible that the remaining feeling of dizziness and insecurity, impaired coordination will decrease or disappear.
