Efficacy of assisted balance training in chronic vestibular vertigo

INTRODUCTION: Physicians are found to have a great and increasing amount of patients suffering of vertigo in their everyday practice. For the treatment of the balance disorders, a vestibular training was introduced which played an influential role based on our study.

AIM: Our aim was to create an easy and comprehensible training program which can be performed even with a family member.

METHODS: Our clinical treatment consists of intravenous vasoactive medicine administration, combined with vestibular training. For the investigation of the improvement we used the Jacobson and Newman questionnaire, and ultrasound-computer-craniocorpography. The statistical evaluation was based on ANOVA, Kruskal-Wallis test and Dunn's post method (p<0.05).

RESULTS: After the combined clinical treatment, the patients' average training results showed improvement. Following the eight-day training, the patients scored higher results from day to day due to the improvement of their abilities while doing the different tasks. Moreover, the questionnaire results also showed the improvement of their status.

CONCLUSIONS: By improving the brain stem circulation, combined with an assisting training program, there is a significant decrease in the complaints and an overall improvement in the quality of life, even though the imbalance cannot be cured. Orv Hetil. 2018; 159(12): 470-477.
