Clinical Trial: Treatment of Apogeotropic Horizontal Canal Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo

Study Status: Completed
Recruit Status: Completed
Study Type: Interventional

Official Title:

Brief Summary: The purpose of this study was to compare the immediate efficacies of each treatment maneuvers in treatment of apogeotropic horizontal canal benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (HC-BPPV).

Detailed Summary: A randomized prospective study of patients with HC-BPPV. Patients with apogeotropic type of HC-BPPV were randomized to one of each three treatment groups at their first clinic visit. These groups included the Gufoni maneuver, head-shaking maneuver, and sham group in apogeotropic HC-BPPV. Responsiveness of treatment maneuver was determined by positioning maneuver immediately after each treatment method based on resolves of vertigo and positional nystagmus.

Current Primary Outcome: Treatment of Apogeotropic Horizontal Canal Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo: A Randomized Clinical Trial [ Time Frame: one hour ]

The immediate treatment response was determined by participating neurologists in each clinic without knowing the maneuver applied to each patient from 30 minutes to one hour after initial maneuver. The absence of both vertigo and nystagmus was required to determine a resolution.


Original Primary Outcome: Conversion in direction of nystagmus from ageotropic to geotropic or disappearance of nystagmus [ Time Frame: 1 day ]

Current Secondary Outcome:
