Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (Disorder)The aim of this research is to assess effects of Oculomotor and VOR exercises on vertigo, dizziness and balance in patients with BPPV. Randomized controlled trial was conducted at Hameed Latif Hospital, Lahore. The sample size 32 participants which were divided into two groups, 16 participants in traditional physical therapy group and 16 in oculomotor and vestibular ocular reflex exercises group. Study duration was of 6 months. Sampling technique applied was non-probability consecutive sampling technique. Only 30-70 years individuals with Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV) were included. Tools used in the study are vertigo handicap questionnaire, visual vertigo analogue scale, dizziness handicap inventory, berg balance scale and dynamic gait index. The data was analyzed using SPSS.

Treatment In Acute Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo
Benign Paroxysmal Positional VertigoBalance; Distorted2 moreBenign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) is a vestibular disorder that manifests itself as a result of dizziness caused by the otoconia in the inner ear coming out of their places and circulating freely in the semicircular canals or by attaching to the cupula and sensitizing the cupula to head movements against gravity. The aim of the study is to compare the effectiveness of pharmacological treatment initiated by the physician and vestibular rehabilitation initiated by physiotherapist in patients with acute benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV). Thirty patients, aged 18-50 years, who applied to the Bağcılar Safa Hospital, were included in the study. The patients were divided into two groups, 15 pharmacological control group and 15 vestibular rehabilitation group. 8 patients in the pharmacological control group were given the drug containing betahistine by the physician, and 7 patients received the drug containing additional dimenhydrinate to the betahistine. In the rehabilitation group, exercises including head and eye movements and maneuvering were performed according to the direction of the canal after the exercise, and the patients were given a home exercise program. Treatment continued for 4 weeks. Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), dynamic visual acuity test, romberg, semitandem, tandem posture tests with a stopwatch, standing test on one leg with eyes open and closed, and unterberger tests were applied to patients before and after treatment.
Effect of Epley-Canalith Repositioning Procedure and Vestibular Rehabilitation Therapy in Diabetic...
Benign Paroxysmal Positional VertigoBenign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) is a common inner ear disorder characterized by brief episodes of vertigo caused by changes in head position. The condition can cause significant func-tional impairment and reduced quality of life. BPPV is especially common among diabetic patients. The Epley-Canalith Repositioning Procedure (CRP) and Vestibular Rehabilitation Therapy (VRT) are two commonly used interventions for the treatment of BPPV. The objective of this paper is to determine the effective therapy among Epley-Canalith Repositioning Procedure and Vestibular Rehabilitation for improving balance and posture control in Diabetic patients with Benign Parox-ysmal Positional Vertigo. Thirty subjects with Diabetes Mellitus (Type 2) suffering from Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV) were recruited for the study and randomly assigned to groups A and B, underwent Canalith Repositioning Procedure and Vestibular Rehabilitation Therapy respectively. The outcome measures of the study were Vertigo Symptom Scale- Short Form (VSS-sf) score and Berg Balance Scale Form (BBS) score assessed at pre -treatment (pre) and 4 weeks post treatment (post).
