About this study
Official title: Effects of Habituation Exercises Versus Proprioceptive Training on Dizziness, Vertigo, Balance and Quality of Life in Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo
The aim of this research is to compare the effects of habituation exercises versus proprioceptive training on vertigo, balance, dizziness and quality of life in the individuals having benign paroxysmal positional vertigo. A randomized controlled trial that will include total 39 participants .The first group will receive habituation exercises for six weeks, three times per week for thirty minutes, along with conventional vestibular rehabilitation therapy. The second group will receive proprioceptive training for six weeks, three times per week for 30 minutes, along with vestibular rehabilitation therapy. The third group will only receive vestibular rehabilitation therapy. Data collected will be analyzed through SPSS 25.
Read the detailed description
Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo is the most common presentation of peripheral vestibular disorder characterized by features like vertigo, nausea, vomiting, imbalance and increased risk of fall . Among all vestibular disorders, BPPV accounts for almost 20% and mostly affects the female gender as compared to the male gender. This type of disorder mainly involves the remoteness of otoliths in the semi-circular canal; most commonly the posterior canal is involved.
A comparative study on posterior canal BPPV including modified Epley procedure alone and Epley procedure combined with vestibular rehabilitation. This cross sectional study illustrated that the results of Epley maneuver only were as same as effectual as with VRT(vestibular Rehabilitation therapy) by reducing the symptoms of residual unsteadiness in that particular population. Among all vertiginous disorders BPPV is most common. Vestibular rehabilitation was conducted as therapeutic option and its effects on balance and quality of life were being assessed. Dizziness Handicap Inventory was being used as outcome measure scale.
The difference in signs of dizziness and quality of life in benign paroxysmal positional vertigo were investigated. Three groups were taken including one with BPPV, the second one with balance deficits (non-BPPV) and the last group involved healthy participants. The study concluded that the patients with BPPV had reduced HRQOL (health related Quality of life), tiredness and increased risk of fall. Dizziness associated with bed mobility is an indicator for the need of diagnoses and treatment thus, repositioning maneuvers had good impact on reducing the severity.
The effects of conventional vestibular rehabilitation recurrence rates on benign paroxysmal positional vertigo aimed to find the impacts on otolith dysfunction. Although repositioning movements were proved fruitful yet the recurrence rates were high in older population as compared to young. Vestibular therapy including habituation exercises decreases the risks of recurrence in benign paroxysmal positional vertigo.
As balance impairments are common in individuals with vertigo and dizziness. Proprioceptive training was proved more efficient than vestibular therapy in reducing the chances of fall in elder population. BBS (berg balance scale) and TUG (Time up and Go test) were conducted to assess balance and risk of fall in older people.
Systematic review of the previous literature on the efficacy of vestibular rehabilitation therapy in benign paroxysmal positional vertigo.12 studies were based on inclusion criteria and the effectiveness of vestibular rehabilitation only and in combination with repositioning maneuver and also in comparison with it. Habituation exercises were included in VR therapeutic intervention, Conclusion were in favor of vestibular therapy as it showed reduction in discomfort caused by the condition.
Efficacy of vestibular therapy protocol to determine its effects on quality of life and postural balance. Randomized controlled trial was performed on 20 individuals. Outcome measure scales like DHI (dizziness handicap inventory), VAS (vertigo visual analogue scale) were used and it was observed that with vestibular rehabilitation there were consequences like better quality of life and reduced signs of vertigo and dizziness were achieved.
According to previous study there was a lack of control group in previous evidence whereas this study will focus on control as well as interventional groups. In previous literature, both of these therapeutic options i.e., habituation exercises and proprioceptive training were used in combination but in this study the comparison will be done between two exercise protocols.
Consequences will be manipulated for balance, vertigo, dizziness and quality of life.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Berg balance scale
Consists of 14 tasks and total score of 56.score of 0-20 indicates severe fall risk, 20-45 includes moderate risk of fall and 45-60 illustrates thr functional balances state.
Measured: 6th week
Secondary outcomes (4)
dynamic gait index
Assess the likelihood of falling in older adults.total score is of 24.score less than 19 is predictive of fall risks.
Measured: 6th week
Dizziness handicap inventory
Measure of patients perception of dizziness.subscales included are functional, physical and emotional.
Measured: 6th week
visual vertigo analogue scale
This scale rates the intensity of visual vertigo in nine challenging situations of visual motions and categorized as having no (0), Mild (0.1-40), moderate (40.01-70) or severe (70.01-100) symptoms.
Measured: 6th week
Activities specific balance confidence scale
Assess the older individuals balance confidence in performing daily life activities. This scale comprises of a wide continuum of less and more challenging activities.
Measured: 6th week

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A study testing Habituation exercises + vestibular treatment, proprioceptive training + vestibular therapy and conventional vestibular treatment in people with Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo, run by Riphah International University at 1 site in Pakistan.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 6 inclusion and 5 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 1 Aug 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in Pakistan. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Berg balance scale (time frame: 6th week). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT05425199, which also lists 10 linked publications.
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 1 Aug 2023.
