Abstract:
Thirty patients with objective benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) (objective group) and 30 patients with subjective BPPV (subjective group) visiting Department of Neurology from January 2014 to June 2015 were enrolled in the study.There were no significant differences in semicircular canal,gender,age,related factors of secondary onset (P ＞ 0.05).Patients were evaluated with dizziness handicap inventory (DHI) before and after the maneuver therapy.The average DHI subscale scores before treatment of all patients were higher than those after treatment (11.8 ± 2.8 vs.2.5 ± 1.8,P ＜ 0.05);there was 11.9 ± 3.0 vs.2.5 ± 2.1 (P ＜ 0.05) for objective group and 11.6 ± 2.6 vs.2.5 ± 1.6 (P ＜ 0.05) for subjective group.The scores of PI,F5,P11,P13,P25 (mean rank order value) after treatment were decreased compared to corresponding initial scores in two groups(objective group:21.30 vs.39.70,19.55 vs.41.45,19.00 vs.42.00,18.65 vs.42.35,15.90 vs.45.10,respectively,subjective group:20.93 vs.40.07,18.07 vs.42.93,19.77 vs.41.23,18.57 vs.42.43,16.47 vs.44.53,respectively;all P ＜ 0.05).The results indicate that maneuver therapy is effective both for objective and subjective BPPV patients;and subscale of DHI can be used to evaluate the degree of illness in patients with BPPV.
