Active clinical trials for "Vestibular Diseases"

The purpose of the study is to investigate the value of steroids in the treatment of vestibular neuronitis. The potential benefits of steroid therapy would be analyzed by the clinical response, self-perceived handicap and laboratory parameters.

Falling is one of the most common consequences of vestibular dizziness. Most of patients with vestibular dysfunction suffer from balance disorders, postural instability and vertigo that may lead to life threating complications as fractures and brain injuries. Non invasive brain stimulation techniques such as repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) have been investigated as therapeutic interventions for various neurological disorders like motor deficits and balance disorders after various neurological deficits. To investigate the effect of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) added to supervised vestibular rehabilitation program on balance and postural stability in patients with vestibular dizziness

In healthy individuals, many postural musculoskeletal problems arise due to various reasons. The cervical region is the region where these problems are most common. The cervical region ranks second in the general population after the lumbal area of musculoskeletal system disorders and affects close to 70% of the general population.The most important causes of this posture disorder are; muscular performance and strength are inadequate, as well as decreased proprioception of the muscles, deterioration of the individual balance systems that result in individual visual or vestibular problems. Exercise therapy is at the forefront of these methods, while a variety of methods are applied in the prevention and treatment of neck problems. Recent studies have focused on multifaceted treatments including exercises to improve strength, endurance and coordination of cervical muscles, proprioceptive training, relaxation exercises to prevent muscle tension, stabilization exercises and behavior modification. Cervical stabilization exercises are a frequently used exercise approach. Cervical stabilization exercises, which are different from ordinary exercises, are based on biomechanics, neurophysiology and physiotherapy research. The main objective of this method is; improve body awareness, maintain posture uniformity, improve strength, endurance, coordination and proprioception. Stabilization exercises also increase the strength and endurance of the postural and stabilizer muscles, improving stability control in the stabilized and non-stabilized positions. Another method that contributes to the development of balance and proprioceptive sense is vibration application. Proprioception plays an important role in ensuring the coordination of movements. When the proprioception input is disturbed, both the position sense and the speed of movement may be affected. Muscle-tendon vibration is a noninvasive method that is often used in proprioception studies. It has been suggested that the vibration application are the enhancing effect of the proprioceptive. However, there is not enough research on this subject. The purpose of this study is to determine whether the cervical stabilization exercises to be applied to the cervical region and the local vibration applied to the neck muscles are related to muscle performance, proprioception and balance and their superiority with each other.

This study was conducted to clarify the effect of vestibular education for autistic children on "sensory profile" and "postrotary nystagmus". In the study, the results of the two groups were compared through the treatment of sensory integration: the once who got the education and the once who did not. For this study, 26 autistic children were included who joined the " Çatalca District Unit of Disabled the Project of No Disabilities ", who was diagnosed with autism, who was 3-10 years (older than 36 months younger than 11 years). For each child, the analysis of the sensory integration and nystagmus was applied twice; at the beginning and at the end of the research. At the beginning of the research, the children were divided into two groups randomly drawn by lots. The first group was given the education of sensory integration with vestibular education and the second group was given the education of sensory integration without vestibular education. Both groups were educated for 10 weeks, 2 days a week with 40- minute sessions.

In this research, the main purpose is to determine the effects of Circuit Training consisting of Structured Vestibular rehabilitation Program under the strict supervision of Neuro-Therapist versus Medicines and General (simple) Rehabilitation (only Home-based) in community-dwelling population of people diagnosed with Vestibular disorders. A booklet consisting of general instructions, simple vestibular exercises which are to be made a part of daily routine, specific diet plan and specific precautions to be taken by patients reporting with vertigo, oscillopsia and dizziness will also be provided to all the patients. This is a community service addition, added so that everyone in the society can have easy access to the instructions, will be cost effective, and will reduce their visits to the therapist.

Randomized clinical trial with a control group that aims to evaluate the effects of a manual therapy protocol, together with a physical therapist-directed vestibular rehabilitation program, in patients with unilateral peripheral vestibular hypofunction. The intervention period will last approximately 4 weeks. Outcome measures will be collected at baseline, just after the intervention, as well as 1 and 6 months after the intervention.

The aim of this study was to investigate of the effect of web-based System with oculomotor and optokinetic stimulation on rehabilitation in vestibular hypofunction. In the literature, studies on vestibular rehabilitation in unilateral hypofunction are very limited and there is no study about it.

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 is to assess the effectiveness of vestibular rehabilitation for an individual who has chronic central vestibular deficits due to cerebellar dysfunction. Due to the lack of treatment for chronic cerebellar dysfunction with Physical Therapy, the investigators hope to produce a protocol for chronic cerebellar dysfunction utilizing balance training, vestibular rehabilitation, or any other rehabilitation technique that may alleviate or eliminate symptoms.

The aim of this study was to compare the efficacy of home based vestibular rehabilitation program, posturographic biofeedback training and whole body vibration therapy on balance, fall risk, functional mobility, vertigo symptom severity and functions in patients with unilateral vestibular weakness.
