The time of latency and duration of induced nystagmus was recorded by an assistant using stopwatch. Interventions In Group A (control group), the affected posterior canal (it is the posterior semi-circular canal of the under most ear when the classic nystagmus is provoked) was predetermined by Dix-Hallpike test. Those meeting the criteria will be randomized into Group A i.e., Epley-Canalith Repositioning and Group B i.e., Vestibular Rehabilitation Therapy through lottery method. Whereas, patients taking antivertigo drugs, who had been treated for similar vertigo experience, disease of different origin that may cause vertigo like migraine, multiple sclerosis, stroke, traumatic brain injury, if CRP has been done before, other causes of peripheral vertigo such as Meniere's disease, vestibular neuritis, labrynthitis and perilymphatic fistula, pathologies contraindicated for Dix- hallpike maneuver like prolapse intervertebral disk, cervical spine instability, cervical myelopathy, previous cervical spine surgery were excluded. Patients who are diagnosed with posterior canal BPPV by ENT physician and diabetes by the physician through laboratory investigations, both male and female aged between 20 to 70 years, Positive Dix -Hallpike test, Nystagmus lasting less than 60 seconds, willing to participate in the study and with a minimum score of 25/56 in Berg Balance Scale were included. Methods: Thirty subjects were recruited for the proposed study on the basis of inclusion and exclusion criteria. Research Objectives:To determine the effective therapy among Epley-Canalith Repositioning Procedure and Vestibular Rehabilitation for improving balance and posture control in Diabetic patients with Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo
Other: Epley-Canalith Repositioning Other: Vestibular Rehabilitation Therapy 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). 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 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. The Epley-Canalith Repositioning Procedure (CRP) and Vestibular Rehabilitation Therapy (VRT) are two commonly used interventions for the treatment of BPPV. BPPV is especially common among diabetic patients. The condition can cause significant func-tional impairment and reduced quality of life. Why Should I Register and Submit Results?īenign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) is a common inner ear disorder characterized by brief episodes of vertigo caused by changes in head position.
