For Meniere`s Disease (M.D.) patients, we are using Betahistin as standard therapy & additionally Urea or Acetazolamide for the attack periods, with good results. But in severe cases of invalidating M.D. causing extensive vertigo, we are using since 6 years labyrinth perfusion by a solution of Gentamycine and Betamethazon. Methods: After insertion of a large […]
The author proposes, as disease for the study of drugs activity on vestibular compensation mechanisms in man, a peripheral labyrinthine disease without spontaneous nystagmus of type II or III. He evaluates the state of compensation by the evolution of static posturography parameters and by the score of Norre’s VHT (vestibular habituation training) during an observation […]
We carried out a retrospective survey of 25 years of clinical experience with the use of clonazepam as a vestibular and tinnitus suppressant in the pharmacological treatment of vestibular or cochleovestibular disorders due to different causes.
This study was conducted in an attempt to determine the efficacy of neurofeedback (NFB) in the treatment of patients suffering from vertigo or tinnitus. Results indicated that after NFB, power for delta and theta bands was reduced; however, an increase of power was noted for the alpha bands.
In this report, we summarize our clinical experience with intratympanic dexamethasone treatment (IDT) for control of tinnitus.
In a randomized, double-blind clinical study, we evaluated the efficacy and tolerability of the fixed combination of cinnarizine, 20 mg, and dimenhydrinate, 40 mg (Arlevert [ARL]) in comparison to betahistine dimesylate (12 mg) in 82 patients suffering from Ménière’s disease for at least 3 months and showing the characteristic triad of symptoms (paroxysmal vertigo attacks, […]
This paper describes, from a technologic and mathematical point of view, a systematic method for daily patient’s equilibrium evaluation during the clinical work.
During the last half century, medical developments have expedited an increase of expectation of life, all over the world. This extension of life has made that some pathologies that in former years were considered of low prevalence, nowadays they have become top priority for public health.
Some new therapies for tinnitus employ bone-conducted sound in the high audio and ultrasonic frequencies, but there has been little previous research on sound transmission through the head at these frequencies.
L’autore espone una nuova tecnica riabilitativa elaborata e proposta per i disordini dell’equilibrio. Tale tecnica denominata E.S.A,C (.elasticizzazione,scollamento,allenamento,calore), si basa sul ripristino dell’ elasticità dei tessuti molli del distretto cervico_brachiale e torace ,attraverso il movimento attivo ripetuto, lo scollamento, e l’uso di calore esogeno. In questo lavoro vengono presentati i risultati ottenuti nel corso degli […]
