Application of Cawthorne-Cooksey Vestibular Rehabilitation Training in Patients with Sudden Deafness and Vertigo
Objective To explore the application value of Cawthorne-Cooksey vestibular rehabilitation training in patients with sudden deafness and vertigo.Methods Eighty patients with sudden deafness and vertigo admitted to Yongchuan Hospital Affiliated to Chongqing Medical University from June 2022 to March 2024 were selected as the research objects,and were divided into a control group and an experimental group according to random number table method,with 40 cases in each group.The control group was treated with conventional drugs,and the experimental group was treated with Cawthorne-Cooksey vestibular rehabilitation training on the basis of the control group,both groups were treated for 2 weeks.The clinical efficacy,hearing level,vertigo degree and balance ability of the two groups were compared.Results There was no significant difference in the total effective rate between the two groups(P>0.05).After treatment,the average hearing threshold between the two groups were lower than those before treatment,the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05),However,when comparing the average hearing thresholds between the two groups,the differences were no statistically significant(P>0.05);the score of Dizziness Handicap Inventory scale in experimental group was(26.87±9.36)points,which was lower than(32.92±11.63)points in control group,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05);the score of Berg Balance Scale in the experimental group was(43.98±4.08)points,which was higher than(41.15±5.09)points of the control group,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).Conclusion Cawthorne-Cooksey vestibular rehabilitation training can improve vertigo symptoms and restore balance in patients with sudden deafness and vertigo,but the clinical effect of hearing recovery is limited.
