Effects of Cervical and Oculomotor Exercises in Young Adults With Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo
Effects of Cervical and Oculomotor Exercises in Young Adults With Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo
Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) is the most common type of dizziness disorder in the community.Its cardinal symptoms include vertigo which is induced by change in position of head, turning over in bed, looking up, lying down in bed or any sudden change in the position of head. This study compares the effectiveness of occulomotor exercises alone and combined cervical and occulomotor exercises which take 6 weeks to implement and recruit results and each session lasting 10-20 minute Assessment will be performed at baseline.
Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV) is the most prevalent peripheral vestibular disorder, significantly affecting patients' daily activities and quality of life. While vestibular maneuvers are widely used for treatment, evidence on the added benefits of combining these maneuvers with therapeutic exercises remains limited. This study aims to fill that gap by evaluating the effectiveness of an integrated approach, potentially enhancing symptom relief and supporting evidence-based clinical decisions. The combination may offer a more holistic strategy for managing BPPV, guiding healthcare professionals toward improved treatment protocols. Additionally, the research emphasizes a quick, accessible intervention suitable for clinical and emergency settings. By reducing dizziness more effectively, the study aspires to improve functional outcomes for patients. Overall, it highlights the value of innovative, combined therapies in vestibular care.
