NCT ID: NCT02782962 Completed - Vertigo Clinical Trials

Accuracy of a Diagnostic Algorithm for the Differential Diagnosis of Vertigo in the ED: the STANDING.

STANDING
Start date: December 2014
Phase: N/A
Study type: Observational

This study evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of a simplified clinical algorithm (STANDING) for the differential diagnosis of acute vertigo in the emergency department. In particular, the investigators want to analyze the sensitivity and specificity of the test for the diagnosis of vertigo of central origin and the reproducibility of the test. In suspected central vertigo of ischemic origin, a duplex sonography to identify vertebral artery pathology will be performed.

NCT ID: NCT02772042 Completed - Neck Pain Clinical Trials

Traction Manipulation of Upper Cervical Spine on Cervicogenic Dizziness

Start date: October 2015
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Manual therapy reduces symptoms in patients with cervicogenic dizziness. The mobilization and manipulation of upper cervical spine are the most popular treatment in this patients. The International Federation of Orthopaedic Manipulative Physical Therapists suggest different recommendations for the safety application of manual therapy techniques in the upper cervical spine, traction manipulation techniques complies with this conditions. However, there isn´t investigation about the effect of traction manipulation in patients with cervicogenic dizziness. The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of traction manipulation in dizziness intensity, range of motion of cervical spine and quality of life on patients with cervicogenic dizziness.

NCT ID: NCT02733549 Completed - Dizziness Clinical Trials

Is The Sudden Onset of Dizziness A Symptom of Acute Liver Dysfunction?

Start date: September 2012
Phase: N/A
Study type: Observational [Patient Registry]

Dizziness is one of the most common complaints among patients admitted to the emergency department (ED). In most cases, the etiology remains unclear. Dizziness has a broad differential diagnosis. The initial symptoms of ALD can include many general complaints. Aim of this study is to investigate whether SOD is a symptom of ALD, the necessity of liver function tests for patients with SOD in the ED, and a cost analysis of liver function tests.

NCT ID: NCT02704819 Completed - Dizziness Clinical Trials

Proof of Concept Study of EMBalance Decision Support System to Evaluate Balance Disorders

EMBalance
Start date: March 2016
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Balance is crucial for an individual's mobility and independence. Human balance is achieved and maintained by a complex set of sensorimotor systems that include sensory input from vision, proprioception and the vestibular system (motion, equilibrium, spatial orientation). This information is then integrated by the brain. This complexity leads to undiagnosed or mistreated patients with balance disorders for long period which can affect their daily activities. The EMBalance project is a research project funded by the European Union, involving 10 universities across Europe. Its aim is to create a Decision Support System (DSS) to support doctors in diagnosing and treating balance disorders. It will be available to primary and secondary care doctors of different specialties, levels of training and in different parts of the country. The DSS will: - Be used by primary and secondary health care professionals - Assist the doctor on the evaluation and management of dizzy patients - Predict how the balance disorder may progress - Reduce patient waiting time and the onward referrals - Ensure patients receive prompt and efficient treatment plans The EMBalance randomised clinical trial (RCT) is a proof-of-concept, multicentre, single-blind, and parallel group study, conducted in Belgium, Germany, Greece and United Kingdom. At present, the question that this study aims to answer is whether the algorithms developed for the EMBalance Platform will yield meaningful information and how these algorithms and platform can be improved, performing an offline comparison of the classical diagnostic approach and the outcome of the EMBalance platform, without any consequence for the patient. Patients who present with balance related symptoms at primary care will be randomised to either intervention group (non-specialist doctor +DSS) or control group (non-specialist doctor -DSS). An overseeing expert will then confirm the diagnosis and management decisions made by the non-specialist doctors in order to determine whether the use of the DSS can help them in a more precise assessment.

NCT ID: NCT02701218 Recruiting - Clinical trials for Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV)

BPPV With CRP: Single Versus Multiple Cycles

Start date: February 2016
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Unilateral posterior canal benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) cases will be randomized to treat with single or multiple cycles of canalith repositioning procedure.The treatment outcomes will be assessed at 7th and 28th days.

NCT ID: NCT02685579 Withdrawn - Sleep Apnea Clinical Trials

The Effect of Obstructive Sleep Apnea Treatment on Dizziness, Vertigo

OSATDV
Start date: June 2016
Phase: N/A
Study type: Observational

Obstructive Sleep Apnea may cause dizziness or vertigo through hypoxia of the vestibular nuclei in the brain. Treating sleep apnea may improve dizziness or vertigo.

NCT ID: NCT02655575 Active, not recruiting - Dizziness Clinical Trials

Assessment and Treatment of Patients With Long-term Dizziness in Primary Care

LODIP
Start date: October 2015
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Brief Summary: The purpose of the present study is to examine the effects of a Group based intervention consisting of vestibular rehabilitation (VR) combined with cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) in patients with long--lasting vestibular dizziness. The study also aims to describe sociodemographic, physical and psychological characteristics in the patients, and to examine prognostic factors related to functional status and disability following participation in the intervention. Prior to the RCT, a feasibility study will be conducted to examine the feasibility of the study protocol.

NCT ID: NCT02652442 Completed - Dizziness Clinical Trials

Vestibular Rehabilitation and Otolith Dysfunction

Start date: January 4, 2016
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Recent studies suggest that otolith dysfunction is a common finding in individuals with a history of head trauma/blast exposure and/or noise-induced hearing loss. Therefore, otolith dysfunction may be a significant health concern for the Veteran population, and determining optimal intervention strategies for otolith dysfunction is important for VA healthcare. The purpose of this project is to identify optimum stimulus parameters of a novel treatment, off-axis rotation (centrifugation) for otolith dysfunction, in healthy participants.

NCT ID: NCT02640599 Completed - Dizziness Clinical Trials

Stationary Bike Study

Start date: November 10, 2014
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Investigators will use a stationary bike protocol to investigate whether patients with post concussion syndrome benefit from adding exertion training to a vestibular rehabilitation program. Investigators examine the effect of aerobic exercise testing and training on individuals with concussion who are currently experiencing symptoms and examine the effect of aerobic exercise in combination with traditional vestibular rehabilitation.

NCT ID: NCT02615314 Completed - Migraine Clinical Trials

Clinical Aspects of Patients With Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV) and Migraine

Start date: January 2015
Phase: N/A
Study type: Observational

The aim of this study is to analyze the clinical aspects of patients with BPPV associated with migraine. It is our purpose to clarify weather migraine is a risk factor for BPPV if the clinical aspect and the therapeutic outcome is different.
