About this study

Official title: ETIOLOGICAL FACTORS AND EFFECT OF VESTIBULAR REHABILITATION ON BILATERAL VESTIBULAR HYPOFUNCTION

The purpose of this study is to determine the etiological factors that constitute bilateral vestibular hypofunction and to investigate the effect of vestibular rehabilitation in these patients.

The Caloric test and Video Head Impulse test were applied to evaluate the vestibular hypofunction picture of the patients who applied to Clinic with complaints of vertigo, dizziness and imbalance. Among these patients with BVH, those with vestibular symptoms, imbalance complaints and limited daily living activities were included in rehabilitation. In order to investigate the effectiveness of rehabilitation, oculomotor functions were evaluated using Simulation Of Vestibulo-ocular Reflex Exercises (SVORE) System, balance assessment was done with timed balance tests and quality of life assessment was performed with Dizziness Handicap Inventory.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Evaluation of Oculomotor Activity (Saccade Frequency Level)

    Oculomotor Function Level was evaluated with Simulation Of Vestibulo-ocular Reflex Exercises (SVORE) System. The name of this web-based system that supports VOR wient in the evaluation part of the vestibular software.sth oculomotor and optokinetic stimuli is Simulation of Vestibulo-Ocular Reflex Exercises (SVORE). This system includes Assessment and Rehabilitation departments. The maximum saccade frequency levels were determined with the measurements. For the evaluation of saccade eye movement, patient will be asked to focus on the objects on the screen.

    Measured: 8 week

  2. Quality of Life Assesment

    The level of quality of life was evaluated with Dizziness Handicap inventory.The Dizziness Handicap Inventory (DHI), which evaluates the quality of life in vestibular diseases, was used in the study. This 25-item scale determines the emotional and functional outcomes of patients in vestibular system diseases as well as aggravating factors related to dizziness and impaired balance.

    Measured: 8 weeks

  3. Static Balance Tests

    To evaluate the static balance of the patients; Length of standing in romberg, semitandem, tandem, standing on one leg, eyes open-closed positions were recorded in seconds with a stopwatch.

    Measured: 8 weeks

  4. Evaluation of Oculomotor Activity (Pursuit Frequency Level)

    Oculomotor Function Level was evaluated with Simulation Of Vestibulo-ocular Reflex Exercises (SVORE) System. The name of this web-based system that supports VOR wient in the evaluation part of the vestibular software.sth oculomotor and optokinetic stimuli is Simulation of Vestibulo-Ocular Reflex Exercises (SVORE). This system includes Assessment and Rehabilitation departments. The maximum pursuit frequency levels were determined with the measurements.For the evaluation of pursuit eye movement, patient will be asked to focus continuely on the objects on the screen.

    Measured: 8 weeks

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?

Evaluation of Oculomotor Activity (Saccade Frequency Level) (time frame: 8 week). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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.
