About

Comparison of treatment efficacy of a mechanical rotational chair (TRV-chair) vs. manual repositioning maneuvers in BPPV

Full description

Open-label, randomized controlled trial comparing manual repositioning maneuvers with a mechanical rotational chair (TRV-chair) in diagnosing and treating BPPV. Patients with suspected BPPV will be randomized to either manual repositioning maneuvers or the TRV-chair.

Enrollment: 170 patients

Sex: All

Ages: 18+ years old

Volunteers: No Healthy Volunteers

Inclusion criteria

• Characteristic (for BPPV) positional nystagmus
• Positive Dix-Hallpike
• Positive supine roll test
• Medical history compatible with BPPV

Exclusion criteria

• Treatment in TRV-chair within the last 6 months
• Exclusion of BPPV diagnosis
• Lack of treatment cooperation
• Known cerebral aneurism or cerebral hemorrhage
• Diagnosed and treated for BPPV within the past month
• Treatment with sedating anti-histamines within the past 7 days

Trial design

Primary purpose: Treatment

Allocation: Randomized

Interventional model: Parallel Assignment

Masking: None (Open label)

170 participants in 2 patient groups

Manual repositioning maneuver

Active Comparator group

Description:

Diagnostics and treatment of BPPV with manual repositioning maneuvers. In case of posterior canal involvement, Epley's maneuver will be used. In case of horizontal canal involvement, the log roll maneuver will be used.

Treatment:

Procedure: Manual repositioning maneuver

Treatment in mechanical rotational chair (TRV-chair)

Experimental group

Description:

Diagnostics and treatment of BPPV with the use of a TRV chair. In case of posterior canal involvement, Epley's maneuver will be used with the addition of 10 kinetic impulses in each position. In case of horizontal canal involvement, the log roll maneuver will be used with the addition of 10 kinetic impulses in each position.

Treatment:

Device: TRV-chair
