Abstract:
OBJECTIVE:To investigate the value of high-frequency stimulation ABR in the diagnosis and treatment of posterior circulation ischemia.
METHOD:Twenty-three patients complaining vertigo diagnosed by neurologist were selected to accept the examination of high-frequency stimulation ABR. After two weeks of treatment, they were tested again. At the same time,20 healthy persons were chosen as control group. The data were analyzed.
RESULT:The patients had longer ABR latency and wave interval than the normal controls, and the results improved after the proper treatment.
CONCLUSION:High-frequency stimulation ABR can be used to facilitate the diagnosis and to evaluate the therapeutic effect of posterior circulation ischemia.
