Sponsor's own description

Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) is a common inner ear disorder characterized by brief episodes of vertigo caused by changes in head position. The condition can cause significant func-tional impairment and reduced quality of life. BPPV is especially common among diabetic patients. The Epley-Canalith Repositioning Procedure (CRP) and Vestibular Rehabilitation Therapy (VRT) are two commonly used interventions for the treatment of BPPV. The objective of this paper is to determine the effective therapy among Epley-Canalith Repositioning Procedure and Vestibular Rehabilitation for improving balance and posture control in Diabetic patients with Benign Parox-ysmal Positional Vertigo. Thirty subjects with Diabetes Mellitus (Type 2) suffering from Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV) were recruited for the study and randomly assigned to groups A and B, underwent Canalith Repositioning Procedure and Vestibular Rehabilitation Therapy respectively. The outcome measures of the study were Vertigo Symptom Scale- Short Form (VSS-sf) score and Berg Balance Scale Form (BBS) score assessed at pre -treatment (pre) and 4 weeks post treatment (post).
