简要总结
This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of the vestibular rehabilitation program applied to patients with chronic unilateral vestibular hypofunction and the vestibular electrical stimulation applied to the trapezius muscles and cervical paravertebral muscles along with the rehabilitation program.
详细描述
This study included 40 patients with unilateral vestibular hypofunction findings, aged between 18 and 65, and whose unilateral vestibulo-ocular reflex (VOR) gain for any semicircular canal was below 0.7 based on the video head impulse test (vHIT) test, were randomized into two groups. While one group underwent a supervised vestibular rehabilitation program for 4 weeks, the other group received 80 Hz high frequency transcutaneous vestibular electrical stimulation (VES) in addition to the supervised vestibular rehabilitation program. The treatment was applied to each group, 3 days a week, for a total of 12 sessions. Detailed musculoskeletal system examinations and vestibular system examinations of the included patients were performed, and sociodemographic characteristics (age, gender, body mass index (BMI), education level) were recorded. Both groups were tested before treatment and at the end of the 4th week, Dizziness Disability Inventory (DHI), Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), Berg Balance Scale (BBS), Timed Up and Go Test (TUG), Activity-Specific Balance and Confidence Scale (ABCs), Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI) and Static Posturography.

结局指标
主要结局
Dizziness Handicap Inventory
时间窗: Baseline and after 4 weeks
'Dizziness Handicap Inventory (DHI)' consists of 25 items that determine the functional and sensory consequences of vestibular system diseases as well as the factors that aggravate dizziness and balance disorders. Questions 1, 4, 8, 11, 13, 17 and 25 of the scale are structured to measure physical disability; questions 2, 9, 10, 15, 18, 20, 21, 22 and 23 are structured to measure emotional disability; questions 3, 5, 6, 7, 12, 14, 16, 19 and 24 are structured to measure functional disability. Each question is scored as yes (4 points), no (0 points) and sometimes (2 points). The level of disability can be categorized according to the scale: 16-34 points = mild disability; 36-52 points = moderate disability; 54+ points = severe disability
