Active clinical trials for "Vertigo"

Benign 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.

Benign 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).

A Multicenter, Double-Blind, Placebo Controlled, Phase Ⅱa clinical trial to enroll 120 patients with Vertigo Caused By Posterior Circulation Infarction during 7 days, then to evaluate the efficacy of different dose of Levophencynonate Hydrochloric, and provide the effective dosage for phase IIb clinical study, to study the safety of Levophencynonate Hydrochloric.

Evaluation of the non inferiority of Meclin (meclizine) versus Dramin (Dimenhydrinate) to treat the symptoms of acute vertigo from peripheral origin after up to 4 weeks of treatment; Evaluation of impact on quality of life in vertigo; Compare the intensity of daytime sleepiness in the two treatment groups; Compare the efficacy of drugs in relieving each of the 10 symptoms that make up the VS; Compare the duration of treatment in both treatment groups; Compare Adehence; Compare the level of satisfaction from each group from the investigators and the subjects; Adverse events;

The purpose of this study was to compare the treatment effectiveness of three different methods for posterior semicircular canal benign paroxysmal positional vertigo. The included methods are Modified Epley maneuver, Semont maneuver and Sham maneuver.

Researchers are gathering information on the safety and effectiveness of a new device called the BalanceBelt.

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

Western University of Health Sciences is seeking men and women to participate in a study on the effectiveness of Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment (OMT) and Vestibular Rehabilitation Therapy (VRT) in patients with vertigo. The purpose of this study is to examine the efficacy of OMT in the treatment of individuals with vertigo, alone and in combination with Vestibular Rehabilitation Therapy (VRT). Because of the health care costs associated with vertigo, the cost effectiveness of OMT and VRT will also be examined.

Stellate ganglion block (SGB) has been the alternative treatment of Meniere's disease for years. However, objective evidence of the effect of SGB was still lack. The investigators conducted a randomized controlled study to examine the immediate effects of SGB in SP/AP of electrocochleography (ECoG).

The investigators primary aim is to test whether or not provision of the self-help booklet teaching VR exercises, with up to one hour of telephone support from a vestibular therapist, will be more effective than routine care in reducing symptoms in dizzy patients in primary care. The investigators will also explore the extent to which patients may benefit from the self-help booklet without support. The investigators will determine whether these models of delivery are less costly than routine care of dizzy patients, as they should reduce the number of patients seeking referral to secondary care for unnecessary assessments.
