Evaluation Of Vestibular Functions & Balance in Edirne Band Musicians

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

It has been stated that intense noise may affect the peripheral vestibular system and consequently cause problems in balance mechanisms. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of exposure to chronic noise on vestibular functions and balance in Edirne Band musicians.

Twenty-two individuals working in the Edirne Band for at least 5 years and over 18 years of age and a control group of 22 individuals working at Trakya University and with similar sociodemographic characteristics to the experimental group were included. The socio-demographic questionnaire was used to inquire about the demographic characteristics of individuals and alcohol-cigarette use, the Activity-Specific Balance Confidence Scale to assess how they felt about the balance, and the Dizziness Handicap Inventory to determine the quality of life-related to dizziness. A 3D ultrasonic system was used to assess the static and dynamic balance of the individuals.

Clinical Trial Description

Chronic exposure to intense noise causes temporary or permanent hearing loss. The effects of exposure to intense noise on the auditory system are well explained, but the number of studies that observes the effects of noise on the vestibular system is limited. It has been stated that intense noise may affect the peripheral vestibular system and consequently cause problems in balance mechanisms. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of exposure to chronic noise on vestibular functions and balance in Edirne Band musicians.

Twenty-two individuals working in the Edirne Band for at least 5 years and over 18 years of age who did not have a diagnosed vestibular disorder, no cervical vertebrae problem, no musculoskeletal system problems during the evaluation and a control group of 22 individuals working at Trakya University and with similar sociodemographic characteristics to the experimental group were included in the study. The socio-demographic questionnaire was used to inquire about the demographic characteristics of individuals and alcohol-cigarette use, the Activity-Specific Balance Confidence Scale to assess how they felt about the balance, and the Dizziness Handicap Inventory to determine the quality of life-related to dizziness. A 3D ultrasonic system was used to assess the static and dynamic balance of the individuals. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
