简要总结
Objective: To compare the efficacy of Yoga as a vestibular rehabilitation exercise with the traditional Vestibular Rehabilitation Therapy (VRT).
Design: observer blinded randomized controlled trial
Setting:This study was conducted in the academic department of Otolaryngology – Head & Neck Surgery, Kasturba Medical College, Mangalore, a coastal city in South India.
Subjects: The inclusion of 150 participants in the study was based on 18 point difference in the DHI score.
Interventions: Randomly assigned into three groups. Yoga was categorized as Group I, VRT as Group II and those with medication as Group III through block randomization.
Main outcome measures: Dizziness Handicap Inventory(DHI) was completed three times at the beginning,end of the fourth week, eight weeks and twelfth week). SF 36 was assessed initially and end of twelve weeks.
The results: Data of 150 patients were analyzed. The mean DHI and mean SF-36 decreased significantly in both the yoga and VRT but there was no significant reduction in the generic quality of life in the control group when compared to baseline.
Conclusion: The advantage of yoga over VRT is that is provides a wholesome and customized cure for giddiness. That means, apart from providing symptomatic relief of giddiness by vestibular rehabilitation, yoga also brings in additional proven benefits like general body relaxation, increased blood oxygenation, detoxification and an overall sense of well being. Being cheap and easy to learn, yoga could be an excellent substitute to the traditional VRT .
