Effect of Brandt-DaroffHabituation Training Combined with Epley Otolith Reduction on Patients with Otogenic Vertigo
Objective:To explore the effect of Brandt-Daroff habituation training combined with Epley otolith reduction on patients with otogenic vertigo.Methods:A total of 88 patients with otogenic vertigo treated in Jinan Third People's Hospital from February 2022 to October 2023 were selected as the study objects.They were divided into a control group and a study group according to random number table method,with 44 cases in each group.The control group was treated with Epley otolith reduction,the study group was treated with Brandt-Daroff habituation training on the basis of the control group.Vestibular symptoms,vertigo disability,balance ability and quality of life were compared between the two groups.Results:After treatment,the scores of Dizziness Handicap Inventory Scale and Vestibular Symptom Index Scale of the study group were lower than those of the control group,the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).After treatment,the Berg Balance Scale of the study group was higher than that of the control group,the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).After treatment,the scores about 4 dimensions of life status,physical function,psychological function and social function Generic Quality of Life Inventory were higher than those of the control group,the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).Conclusion:Brandt-Daroff habituation training combined with Epley otolith reduction in the treatment of patients with otogenic vertigo can effectively improve the vestibular symptoms and the degree of vertigo disability,improve the balance ability and quality of life.
