Active clinical trials for "Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo"

Comparison of treatment efficacy of a mechanical rotational chair (TRV-chair) vs. manual repositioning maneuvers in BPPV

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.

The purpose of this study was to compare the immediate efficacies of each treatment maneuvers in treatment of apogeotropic horizontal canal benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (HC-BPPV).

The propose of this study is to compare two methods of physical treatment for benign paroxysmal positional vertigo, by evaluating treatment effects on postural stability. The trail design is a double blinded randomized controlled trail, with each patient going through three evaluations: before treatment, 1 week after treatment and 60 days after treatment.

Randomized, 3-arm controlled clinical study, to evaluate the effectiveness of supplementation with Vertistop® D (food supplement containing alpha-lipoic acid at modified release, Carnosine and Zinc, Vitamin D and Vitamins B) and Vertistop® L (food supplement containing fast releasing alpha-lipoic acid, Carnosine, Zinc and Curcumin) in preventing recurrence of high-recurrence BPPV (Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo)

The study involves the evaluation of 3 groups of subjects (3-arm study). Patients diagnosed with BPPV and "sufficient" serum concentrations of Vitamin D (>30 ng/mL, >75 nmol/L) at baseline may be treated with 2 tablets per day (morning and evening) of Vertistop® L ( Alpha-lipoic acid, carnosine, zinc and curcumin) or untreated, on the basis of the randomization criterion to which they will be assigned. Patients with Vitamin D "deficiency" (<20 ng/mL, <50 nmol/L) or Vitamin D "insufficient" (20-30 ng/mL, 50-75 nmol/L) at baseline, or subsequent follow-up, they will be treated for 2 months with Vertistop® D (alpha-lipoic acid, carnosine and zinc, vitamin D3 and vitamins of the B complex) taking 1 tablet a day (before meals). The main purpose of the study is to evaluate, over a period of 6 months, the efficacy of Vertistop® D and Vertistop® L supplementation in preventing recurrences of BPPV (Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo), in relation to blood levels of Vitamin D.

This study is being done because the investigators would like to know how effective the Liberatory maneuver is in treating benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV).

The investigators are training a group of four pediatric Sports Medicine providers in BPPV maneuvers. All four providers will be trained in the diagnostic maneuvers, and two will be randomly selected to also be trained in the treatment maneuvers. The providers will be encouraged to use the diagnostic maneuvers on all new concussion patients whose initial visit is within 28 days of their injury. They will complete a survey at the start and end of the study to determine if they thought the training affected their understanding of BPPV and confidence in managing it, as well as determine any challenges they faced with learning/administering the maneuvers. Additionally, the investigators will determine if the additional training impacts time to recovery from concussion, as well as determine potential risk factors for BPPV in concussion.

The study evaluates a theory-based educational intervention and implementation strategy on the use of the Dix-Hallpike test (DHT) and Canalith Repositioning Maneuver (CRM) in a community Emergency Department (ED) setting. The DHT and CRM are used to diagnose and treat Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV).

The standard treatment of posterior semicircular canal benign paroxysmal positional vertigo is the canalith repositioning procedure or the Epley maneuver. Based on the present literature, there is controversy on the efficacy of post-maneuver postural restrictions.The aim of this study was to conduct a randomized controlled trial to compare the treatment efficacy of post-maneuver postural restriction with CRP alone in patients with posterior semicircular canal benign paroxysmal positional vertigo.
