About balance on platform: mathematical modeling for clinical evaluation
This paper describes, from a technologic and mathematical point of view, a systematic method for daily patient’s equilibrium evaluation during the clinical work.
Characteristics of tinnitus and etiology of associated hearing loss: a study of 123 patients
The aim of this study was to highlight the clinical characteristics of tinnitus and to attempt a quantitative assessment in relation to any underlying etiologies. We undertook to study a population of 123 patients attending a tinnitus clinic between 1998 and 2000.
Fixed combination of cinnarizine and dimenhydrinate versus betahistine dimesylate in the treatment of ménière’s disease: a rando
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, […]
A new method of vestibular diagnosis
INTRODUCTION: Our purpose of study is to verify the possibility of applying a diagnostic method for the evaluation of vestibular function using an “atraumatic” method of examination. We are currently using a computerized system that will objectively analyse the answer of the patients undergoing “virtual reality” stimuli in the absence of influence of external parameters. […]
Treating cervical disorders according to mackenzie method in vertigo
One of the most important role of the vestibular system is to stabilize the head during the movement. This is necessary to stabilize the perceived visual images. Head is de-stabilized in every normal human situation, except to lying. Head is de-stabilized while sitting, standing, walking, jumping, eating In optimal conditions, the posture of the head […]
The alteration of hearing process in antiorthostatic position modelling microgravitation
The cranial shifting of body fluids developing in microgravity can be modelled by –300 head-down tilt body position (antiorthostatic posture) on Earth. Authors examined a group of 13 healthy voluntary young men in antiorthostatic posture and recorded the alteration of parameters in complex examinations. Among them pure tone threshold and speech threshold examinations were carried […]
Vestibular evoked myogenich potentials in monitoring the efficacy of vestibular rehab in water
Water represents a simple way to modify gravity interaction on human body. In this way it is possible to manipulate the vestibular system. Vestibular Rehabilitation in Water is the new perspective of rehabilitation of Vertigo and Equilibrium Disturbances. One of the most important role of the CS is to detect Gravity and to elaborate adequate […]
The many faces of bppv: therapeutic results in 464 cases
It has been demonstrated not only in our experimental research as well as in our clinical routine that the association of different strategies is usually highly synergic for positional vertigo relief and control. The summation of the various favourable effects of each kind of therapy seems to lead to an improvement or cure which is […]
The role of free radicals and plasmatic antioxidant in menière syndrome
The objective of this study is the supposition, verified through suitable hematochemical tests, of the co-presence in the etiopathogenesis of the Menière syndrome and/or in the labyrinth pathologies or hypacusia also of central/systemic microtoxicosis. We do not therefore exclude other well known hypotheses on the causality of these pathologies, but one finds, above all in […]
