Abstract:
Objective To analyze the efficacy of modified epley maneuver associated with betahistine for treating posterior semicircular canal benign paroxysmal positional vertigo(PC-BPPV).Methods 78 cases with unilateral PC-BPPV were divided into complexed therapy group(39 cases)and control group(39 cases)randomly.The complexed therapy group was treated by modified epley maneuver associated with betahistine 6mg per time,3 times daily for successive 1 month.the control group was treated by modified epley maneuver only.Results 78 patients after first treatment,56 cases were cured,control group(28 patients),complexed therapy group(28 cases),no statistically significant difference between the two groups.After 1 month of treatment,the control group were cured 30 cases,effective 3 cases,invalid 6 cases;the complexed therapy group were cured 37 cases,effective 1 case,invalid 1 case;complexed therapy group,the cure rate was 94.9%,significantly higher than the 76.9% of control group(x2=4.3365,P<0.05).Conclusion The modified epley maneuver associated with betahistine is effective to treat PCBPPV,which is worth being promoted.
