Active clinical trials for "Dizziness"

Observation of the effects of Cawthorne-Cooksey exercises applied after the Epley maneuver on balance, vertigo symptoms, and quality of life in BPPV patients.

The purpose of this study is to see whether family doctors can treat benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV), or dizziness, using a procedure in the office. The study is looking at whether the treatment procedure cures the dizziness in more patients compared to patients that receive a "sham" or placebo procedure.

The purpose of this study is to develop effective exercise intervention to reduce dizziness and fall risk in older adults with non-specific dizziness. We hypothesize that the use of vestibular exercises can reduce dizziness and improve gaze and postural stability in older persons.

The aim of this study is to assess if early supported vestibular rehabilitation can reduce dizziness and improve daily life activities in patients with acute vestibular injury. The study question is: Does early supported vestibular rehabilitation have an additional effect on dizziness symptoms and daily life functions compared to standard treatment?

The purpose of this study was to determine the relative short- and long-term efficacy of several physical treatment paradigms commonly employed for the treatment of benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV), including the canalith repositioning (Epley) maneuver, the liberatory (Semont) maneuver, the Brandt-Daroff exercises and nonspecific vestibular habituation exercises. These procedures involve exercises and head manipulations. Vertigo intensity and frequency, the presence/absence of slow-phase eye movements, the degree of dizziness handicap and acts of daily living (ADL) were assessed. The study also ascertained the effects of co-morbid conditions on the response to treatment. While BPPV is a common and significant public health problem that has been recognized for several decades, this is the first systematic study of the relative treatment efficacy of different physical treatment modalities for this disorder.

Previous works demonstrated the relationship between postural disturbances and reduction in cervical range of motion (CROM) in patients suffering from cervicogenic dizziness (CGD). Since sustained natural apophyseal glides (SNAGs) have been proposed as an effective treatment, the aim of the present study was to evaluate how clinical measures could be affected in patients with cervicogenic dizziness undergoing SNAGs.

Treatment of vertigo after removal of a tumor of the balance and hearing nerve after neurosurgery, which damages or cuts the vestibular nerve (balance). This trial explores the efficacy and safety of AM-125 in the treatment of acute vertigo. In this proof of concept trial patients experiencing vertigo after neurosurgery (vestibular schwannoma labyrinthectomy and vestibular neurectomy) will receive AM-125 or placebo. It evaluates the potential of AM-125 versus placebo in reducing the symptoms of vestibular dysfunction and accelerating vestibular compensation following neurosurgery.

In addition to the channelize reposition maneuvers (KRM) that will be applied by the physician in patients diagnosed with Benign paroxysmal positional Vertigo (BPPV), the aim of the study is to investigate the effect of vestibular rehabilitation exercises that will be October based on telerehabilitation by the physiotherapist.

The goal of this clinical trial is to assess the efficacy and safety of a combination of aminobutyric acid, glutamic acid, calcium, thiamine, pyridoxine and cyanocobalamin as adjuvant therapy for vertigo comparatively to ginger under a double-blind randomized study design.

Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV) is characterized by short, recurrent and intense episodes of vertigo. Repositioning maneuvers have been used for its treatment however, evidence indicated recurrence with these maneuvers. However, the effectiveness of this intervention for improving dynamic and static balance in patients with BPPV is unknown. Vestibular rehabilitation through Caw-throne and Cooksey exercises improves dizziness, balance and gives postural stability. This study aims to determine effects of these exercises in improving the residual symptoms of dizziness and balance impairments after CRM. This randomized controlled trial will recruit patients through convenience sampling. Diagnosed patients of BPPV will be confirmed for inclusion through Dix-Hallpike test. Patients presenting with other neurological, orthopedic or metabolic conditions, patients who have had exposure to any balance exercises or other forms of training that can influence results will also be excluded to limit confounding factors A sample of 26 patients will be taken and divided into two groups each with 13 patients. Group A will receive conventional physical therapy while group B will receive Vestibular Rehabilitation exercises with the conventional physical therapy protocol. The conventional physical therapy protocol will include Cervical stretches and Basic Balance Exercises. The session will be around 40 min on each patient with three session per week on alternate days.The study will evaluate patients through Vertigo symptom Scale (to identify vertigo), Dizziness Handicap Inventory (to identify dizziness),Berg Balance Scale (to identify balance and risk of fall). The data will be analyzed using SPPS software.
