Abstract:

Objective

To evaluate the efficacy of vertigo diagnosis and treatment system for benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) in the elderly.

Methods

360 patients admitted from September 2018 to March 2019 in Zhejiang Hospital diagnosed as BPPV were included. There were 183 elder patients and 177 young patients. Among the elderly BPPV patients, 98 patients were treated with vertigo diagnosis and treatment system (group A) and 85 patients were treated with manual repositioning (group B).The young patients were treated with vertigo diagnosis and treatment system (group C). The reposition effects of the 3 groups were observed and compared, and the recurrences were followed up for 6 months. Analysis of variance was used for comparison of measurement data between groups, Kruskal-Wallis H test and chi-square test were used for comparison of count data.

Results

While using vertigo diagnosis and treatment system for reposition treatment, there was no statistically significant difference in the total first-time and second-time reposition effective rates between the elderly and the young and middle-aged patients with BPPV, as well as patients with different subtypes of BPPV (allP > 0.05). Compared with the elderly BPPV patients with manual treatment, the total first-time reposition effective rates of elderly patients with vertigo diagnosis and treatment system and the first-time reposition effective rates of pc-BPPV subtype were significantly higher, and the differences were statistically significant (χ2=4.352、5.694, allP< 0.05). There was no significant difference between the total sencond-time reposition effective rates and the first-time and sencond-time reposition effective rates of hc-BPPV, hc-BPPV-cu subtypes (allP > 0.05). After 6 months of follow-up, there were no significant differences in the reposition effective rates among group A and groups B, group C (χ2=1.225, 1.262,P> 0.05); and there was no significant differences in the reposition effective rates of BPPV patients in each subtype of groups A and B (χ2=1.286, 0.019, 0.014,P> 0.05).

Conclusion

Vertigo diagnosis and treatment system has good short-term curative effect and stable long-term curative effect for elder BBPV patients. It has a high probability of success, and is safe and easy to perform.
