The Effects of the Vestibular Rehabilitation on the Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo Recurrence Rate in Patients with Otolith Dysfunction

Abstract: Background and ObjectivesAlthough repositioning maneuvers have shown remarkable success rate in treatments of benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV), the high recurrence rate of BPPV has been an important issue. The aims of present study were to examine the effects of otolith dysfunction on BPPV recurrence rate and to describe the effect of vestibular rehabilitation exercises on BPPV recurrence in BPPV patients with concomitant otolith dysfunction.Subjects and MethodsForty-five BPPV patients included in t… Show more

“…Otolith dysfunction could be associated with an increase in the recurrences of BPPV [75,76]. Thus, the vestibular rehabilitation program including may reduce the recurrence rate of BPPV [77]. This program includes jumping on the trampoline-like surface with eyes open and closed, reading a text during linear head movements, standing on the tilt board and using an exercise ball.…”

“…Controlling age‐related free‐floating otoliths is difficult and continuously and repeatedly using physical maneuvers to return them from the canal to the utricle is not a good idea . Therefore, HUS when lying down at home is recommended as the first treatment for patients with intractable idiopathic BPPV.…”

“…It is not so easy to prevent debris from coming off the utricle or to wait for debris to diminish via turnover. It is not a good idea return the endless free‐floating debris in the canals to the utricle through repeated physical maneuvers, although Epley and Lempert methods have already turned out to be effective are widely used worldwide . For these reasons, here we propose keeping the head at 45° when lying down at home to prevent free‐floating debris from coming into the semicircular canal.…”
