Efficacy of BPPV diagnosis and treatment system for benign paroxysmal positional vertigo

American Journal of Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Medicine and Surgery Feb 12, 2020

Lou Y, et al. - In this investigation involving 230 patients, researchers tested the effectiveness of automatic benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) diagnosis and treatment system for BPPV vs the manual repositioning group. The sample consisted of patients diagnosed as idiopathic BPPV who were admitted from August 2018 to July 2019 in Zhejiang Hospital. At 3-day and 7-day follow-up after treatment with BPPV diagnosis and treatment system, 79%, 91% had full resolution of vertigo and nystagmus, the effective rate in the experimental group was significantly higher compared with those in the control group, the variations were statistically important. On day 14, the effective rate was slightly higher in the experimental group than that in the control group, but there was no significant difference between the two groups. And the effective rate in the experimental group and the control group was 100% at 28 days after the first treatment. Findings suggested that BPPV diagnosis and treatment system is effective for treating BPPV, with a better rate of effectiveness than those treated with manual maneuver, and is safe and easy to perform on patients.
