简要总结
Background: Vestibular dysfunctions are common disorders in the adult population that can develop at any life decade. Most of the patients with vestibular dysfunction suffer from balance disorders and vertigo that may have a negative impact on daily living activities and social participation.
Objectives: To investigate the effect of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation added to vestibular physical therapy exercises on functional recovery in patients with vestibular dysfunction.
Hypothesis: There is no effect of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation added to vestibular physical therapy exercises on functional recovery in patients with vestibular dysfunction.

结局指标
主要结局
Video-nystagmography (VNG)
时间窗: 35 minutes
The VNG was used to assess unilateral vestibular canal weakness. It was used with caloric testing to analyze eye movements using video imaging technology, in which hi-tech video goggles with infrared cameras were used
次要结局
- Dizziness handicap inventory (DHI)(20 minutes)
