Abstract:
OBJECTIVETo explore the influence of positional change speed on the recovery rate and discomfort degree of the patients with benign paroxysmal positional vertigo.METHODSPatients with detailed records from September 2012 to September 2015 were reviewed. 358 patients were divided into quick maneuver (<2s) and slow maneuver (5-10 s) groups randomly based on the time of changing position. The maneuver was done by the same doctor. The discomfort degree during the maneuver was assessed by the visual analog scale.RESULTSThe effective rate of the quick and slow maneuver group is 97.7% and 97.2% respectively, there is no significant differences between the groups (P>0.05). The VAS is 7.70±3.95 and 5.18±3.56 respectively in the quick and slow maneuver group, there is significant differences between the groups (t=3.38,P<0.05).CONCLUSION Positional changing speed does not influence the recovery rate of the BPPV, while the slow maneuver can reduce the discomfort degree.
