RESUMO
BACKGROUND: There may be confusion about which canal is involved in patients with benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV), especially with those that have subtle findings. The study aimed to determine if video head impulse testing may be used in such patients as a diagnostic tool. Symptom scoring and treatment efficiency in BPPV are essential parts of the process. Therefore, inventories like "Dizziness Handicap Inventory" may be useful in this regard. METHODS: Patients with posterior and lateral canal BPPV were included. Video head impulse testing was performed prior to treatment and 1 week after treatment. Vestibuloocular reflex (VOR) gains were noted and compared to the opposite side. The presence of correction saccades was noted as well. Also, pretreatment and posttreatment Dizziness Handicap Inventory scores were compared. RESULTS: Fifty-seven patients were diagnosed with posterior canal BPPV, and sixteen were with horizontal canal BPPV. In patients with posterior canal BPPV, there was no difference between the involved canal VOR gains and the other canals on the same side (P=.639). The involved horizontal canal did not differ from the opposite horizontal canal. Patients with lateral canal BPPV show more significant improvement after treatment compared to patients with posterior canal BPPV. CONCLUSION: Video head impulse testing may not be used to estimate the involved canal in BPPV; however, it may be used to evaluate the efficiency of the treatment, especially in the lateral canal.

BACKGROUND: We aimed to explore the role of comprehensive vestibular rehabilitation based on virtual reality (VR) technology in residual symptoms after canalith repositioning procedure. METHODS: A total of 124 patients, who were diagnosed with benign paroxysmal positional vertigo from September 2020 to July 2023 and had residual symptoms 24 hours after the canalith repositioning procedure, were selected as the subjects. They were randomly divided into a normal control (NC) group, a Cawthorne-Cooksey exercise group (n=41), a Brandt-Daroff exercise group (n=41), and a VR group (n=42). The NC group received no intervention, the Cawthorne-Cooksey exercise group underwent Cawthorne-Cooksey exercise, the Brandt-Daroff exercise group was subjected to Brandt-Daroff exercise, and the VR group was given comprehensive vestibular rehabilitation based on VR technology. RESULTS: After treatment, the Dizziness Handicap Inventory (DHI) and vestibular symptom index (VSI) scores of the virtual reality (VR), Cawthorne-Cooksey exercise, and Brandt-Daroff exercise groups were significantly lower than those of the NC group (P <.05). The scores of the VR group were lower than those of the Cawthorne-Cooksey exercise and Brandt-Daroff exercise groups (P < .05). The abnormality rates of ocular vestibular evoked myogenic potentials (oVEMP) and cervical vestibular evoked myogenic potentials (cVEMP) in VR, Cawthorne-Cooksey exercise, and Brandt-Daroff exercise groups were lower than those of the NC group (P <05). The rates of the VR group were lower than those of the Cawthorne-Cooksey exercise and Brandt-Daroff exercise groups (P <05). CONCLUSION: Comprehensive vestibular rehabilitation based on VR technology can cure the residual symptoms after the canalith repositioning procedure, reduce the abnormality rates of oVEMP and cVEMP, and reconstruct the balance ability.

BACKGROUND: Correctly diagnosing dizziness in children is essential for appropriate management; nevertheless, healthcare professionals face challenges due to children's limited ability to describe their symptoms and their cooperation during physical examination. The objective of this study is to describe the first 100 patients seen at a newly established pediatric vertigo center. METHODS: This is a retrospective review of a consecutive series of 100 patients seen at our pediatric vertigo clinic in a tertiary referral center from August 2019 until June 2022. Comprehensive clinical data were collected. The diagnoses were established by 2 pediatric otolaryngologists based on validated diagnostic criteria. Trends in diagnosis, investigation, and treatment of these patients were analyzed. RESULTS: A total of 100 children were included in the study. Vestibular migraine was the most common diagnosis (20%) followed by benign paroxysmal vertigo of childhood (14%). Eleven patients had combined pathologies. Fifteen out of 70 children (21%) had abnormal audiograms, 30 out of 48 children (62.5%) had abnormal vestibular testing, and 6 out of 31 (19%) patients had abnormal imaging. Fifty-one children received medical treatment, 23 received vestibular physiotherapy, and 9 patients had particle repositioning maneuvers; moreover, 17 of these patients received multimodal treatment. CONCLUSIONS: Our analysis suggests that imaging and audiology testing have relatively low yield in the assessment of pediatric vertigo. On the other hand, vestibular testing detected a high proportion of abnormalities, such as saccadic pursuit, vertical nystagmus, central positional nystagmus, and abnormal directional preponderance, particularly associated with vestibular migraine. Given the complexity of diagnosing vertigo in children, it is critical to establish multidisciplinary specialized centers capable of providing accurate diagnosis and treatment for these children.

Objective: To investigate the disease composition, clinical features, diagnosis, and treatment characteristics of vertigo in children. Methods: A total of 120 children with vertigo diagnosed and treated in the Department of Otorhinolaryngology, Children's Hospital, Capital Institute of Pediatrics in Beijing from February 2018 to February 2022 were retrospectively analyzed to explore the clinical characteristics of common peripheral vertigo in children and to summarize the experience of diagnosis and treatment. Results: The etiological composition of 120 cases of vertigo in children are as follows: 63 (52.5%) cases of vestibular migraine of childhood (VMC), 19 (15.8%) of recurrent vertigo of childhood (RVC), 11 (9.2%) of probable vestibular migraine of childhood (PVMC), 10 (8.3%) of secretory otitis media (SOM), 6 (5.0%) of persistent postural-perceptual dizziness (PPPD), 4 (3.3%) of benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV), 2 (1.7%) of vestibular neuritis (VN), 2 (1.7%) of Meniere's disease (MD), 2 (1.7%) of inner ear malformation (IEM), and 1 (0.8%) of vestibular paroxysmal syndrome (VP).The major cause of vertigo in children of different ages was different. SOM was the most important cause in preschool children, followed by RVC and VMC; VMC was the most important cause in school-age children, followed by RVC; and MD and BPPV were exclusive found in adolescents. The incidence rate of PPPD was higher in adolescents than in preschool and school-age children. Children with vertigo had good prognosis in general. Conclusions: VMC, RVC and SOM are the most common causes in vertigo in children, and their proportion was different in different aged children. Transforming abstract feelings into specific information is the skill required for collecting medical history of children with vertigo. Considering the age and cooperation of children, appropriate hearing and vestibular examination techniques are recommended. We should pay more attention to the mental health of children with vertigo and their parents.

In this study, we propose a deep learning-based nystagmus detection algorithm using video oculography (VOG) data to diagnose benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV). Various deep learning architectures were utilized to develop and evaluate nystagmus detection models. Among the four deep learning architectures used in this study, the CNN1D model proposed as a nystagmus detection model demonstrated the best performance, exhibiting a sensitivity of 94.06 ± 0.78%, specificity of 86.39 ± 1.31%, precision of 91.34 ± 0.84%, accuracy of 91.02 ± 0.66%, and an F1-score of 92.68 ± 0.55%. These results indicate the high accuracy and generalizability of the proposed nystagmus diagnosis algorithm. In conclusion, this study validates the practicality of deep learning in diagnosing BPPV and offers avenues for numerous potential applications of deep learning in the medical diagnostic sector. The findings of this research underscore its importance in enhancing diagnostic accuracy and efficiency in healthcare.

Dizziness is one of the most prevalent complaints in medicine, and benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) accounts for one-third of all cases. The present study was aimed at identifying differences in the course and prognosis of BPPV depending on the patient's medical condition during hospitalization. Patients in group 1 were hospitalized due to trauma, those in group 2 for scheduled surgery, and those in group 3 for medical treatment. The intervals from admission to symptom onset, surgery to symptom onset, and symptom onset to ENT department referral were compared. The interval from admission to symptom onset was shortest in group 1 (3.1 ± 8.0 days) and differed significantly from that in group 3 (20.0 ± 35.0 days, p < 0.001). The interval from surgery to symptom onset for group 2 was 5.6 ± 5.8 days and was significantly shorter than that from admission to symptom onset for group 3 (p = 0.014). The interval from symptom onset to ENT referral in group 3 (2.0 ± 2.8 days) was significantly shorter than in groups 1 and 2 (4.1 ± 5.1 and 4.0 ± 3.6 days, p = 0.008 and p = 0.002, respectively). The findings imply that the course of BPPV differed according to the patients' medical condition.

BACKGROUND: During episodes of benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV), individuals with migraine, compared with individuals without migraine, may experience more severe vestibular symptoms because of their hyperexcitable brain structures, more adverse effects on quality of life, and worse recovery processes from BPPV. METHODS: All patients with BPPV were assigned to the migraine group (MG, n = 64) and without migraine group (BPPV w/o MG, n = 64) and completed the Vertigo Symptom Scale (VSS), Vertigo Dizziness Imbalance Symptom Scale (VDI-SS), VDI Health-Related Quality of Life Scale (VDI-HRQoLS), Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI), and Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) at the time of BPPV diagnosis (baseline) and on the one-month follow-up. Headache Impact Test-6 and Migraine Disability Assessment Scale were used for an assessment of headache. Motion sickness was evaluated based on the statement of each patient as present or absent. RESULTS: Compared with the BPPV w/o MG, the MG had higher VSS scores at baseline [19.5 (10.7) vs. 11.3 (8.5); p < 0.001] and on one-month follow-up [10.9 (9.3) vs. 2.2 (2.7), p < 0.001]; experienced more severe dizziness and imbalance symptoms based on the VDI-SS at baseline (61.9% vs. 77.3%; p < 0.001) and after one month (78.9% vs. 93.7%, p < 0.001); and more significantly impaired quality of life according to the VDI-HRQoLS at baseline (77.4% vs. 91.8%, p < 0.001) and after one month (86.3% vs. 97.6%, p < 0.001). On the one-month follow-up, the subgroups of patients with moderate and severe scores of the BAI were higher in the MG (39.2%, n = 24) than in the BPPV w/o MG (21.8%, n = 14) and the number of patients who had normal scores of the BDI was lower in the MG than in the BPPV w/o MG (67.1% vs. 87.5%, p = 0.038). CONCLUSION: Clinicians are advised to inquire about migraine when evaluating patients with BPPV because it may lead to more intricate and severe clinical presentation. Further studies will be elaborated the genuine nature of the causal relationship between migraine and BPPV.

BACKGROUND: Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo is the most common episodic vestibular disorder, although it is often quiescent by the time patients visit a specialist clinic, making the diagnosis difficult to confirm. Patients fear the consequences of a relapse and it is not clear what follow up should be provided. OBJECTIVE: This evaluation reviewed the results of an open access pathway that offered priority appointments to patients with a history of positional vertigo. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: In total, 664 patients were included in the analysis, 52 per cent of whom had unconfirmed benign paroxysmal positional vertigo. Open follow up improved diagnostic rates by approximately 40 per cent. The rate of benign paroxysmal positional vertigo recurrence was 34 per cent in patients with follow up of at least one year, 41 per cent with follow up of one to two years, and 53 per cent with follow up of two years or more. One in five recurrences occurred in a different semi-circular canal. These results suggest that specialist follow up is required for management of recurrent benign paroxysmal positional vertigo.

OBJECTIVE: This pilot study aimed to evaluate a training programme for primary care physiotherapists focused on the assessment and management of benign paroxysmal positional vertigo. METHODS: A six-month training programme and toolkit utilising the revised Standards for Quality Improvement Reporting Excellence ('SQUIRE 2.0') guidelines was developed to facilitate the learning of new knowledge and skills in the assessment and management of benign paroxysmal positional vertigo following Gagne's model of instructional design. A pre- and post-training knowledge and confidence questionnaire evaluated the impact of the training programme. RESULTS: Eleven participants started the training programme and five completed it. On average, knowledge increased by 54 per cent (range, 41-95 per cent) and confidence increased by 45 per cent (range, 31-76 per cent). A 73 per cent improvement in practical skills acquisition was demonstrated after the initial training session. CONCLUSION: A structured approach to learning demonstrates improvements in knowledge, skills and confidence of physiotherapists in the evidence-based management of benign paroxysmal positional vertigo.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate otolithic functions in patients with residual dizziness after successful canalith repositioning procedures (CRPs) for unilateral posterior canal benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV), and to investigate possible risk factors. METHODS: This case-control observational study included healthy controls and patients with residual dizziness after improvement following CRP for BPPV. All participants were subjected to full history taking, otoscopy, audiological basic evaluation, Dix-Hallpike test to search for posterior canal BPPV, residual dizziness screening, and vestibular evoked myogenic potential (VEMP) testing. Between-group differences were assessed and possible factors associated with residual dizziness were identified by univariate analysis. RESULTS: A total of 50 patients with residual dizziness (mean age, 56.53 ± 7.46 years [29 female: 21 male]) and 50 healthy controls (mean age, 58.13 ± 7.57 years [20 female: 30 male]) were included. A significant difference in VEMP latencies was found between the patient and control group (delayed in the patient group), with no significant between-group difference in amplitude in both ears. Aging, female sex, long duration of BPPV, number of CRPs, cervical VEMP and ocular VEMP abnormalities, and winter onset, were significantly associated with the risk of residual dizziness. CONCLUSIONS: Residual dizziness is a frequent sequel of BPPV that may relate to otolithic dysfunction. VEMP changes were revealed in the form of delayed latencies.

Objective: To compare the clinical efficacy of personalized vestibular rehabilitation and otolith reposition in treating atypical benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV). Methods: A randomized controlled trial was carried out. Fifty patients diagnosed with atypical BPPV in the Vertigo Clinic of the First Affiliated Hospital of Shandong First Medical University from October 2022 to September 2023 were recruited and randomly divided into manual reduction group (25 cases) and vestibular rehabilitation group (25 cases) according to the random number table. All patients were given flunarizine. Patients in the manual reduction group were treated by Epley maneuver and (or) Barbecue maneuver, while the vestibular rehabilitation group was given personalized vestibular rehabilitation therapy. After two weeks' treatment, the clinical symptoms (positional vertigo/nystagmus) and total dizziness handicap inventory (DHI) score, DHI physical (DHI-P), DHI emotional (DHI-E), and DHI functional (DHI-F) of the two groups were evaluated and compared. Results: A total of 50 patients diagnosed with atypical BPPV were included, including 23 males and 27 females, with an average age of (48.8±14.5) years. There was no statistically significant difference between the two groups in age, gender, disease severity, Romberg, position test abnormality ratio (Dix-hallpike/Roll test), temperature test, and video head impulse test baseline test results (all P>0.05). After 2 weeks of treatment, the effective rates of the treatment in the manual reduction and vestibular rehabilitation groups were 56.0% (14/25) and 88.0% (22/25), respectively, with a statistically significant difference (P=0.025). The total DHI score, DHI-P, DHI-E, and DHI-F scores in both groups were significantly decreased after treatment (all P<0.001). Compared with the manual reduction group, the total DHI score (23.2±2.7 vs 36.4±15.7, P=0.002), DHI-P (10.2±4.6 vs 13.7±5.3, P=0.016) and DHI-F (6.5±6.4 vs 13.0±7.2, P=0.002) in the vestibular group were lower, however, there was no significant difference in DHI-E score between the two groups (6.6±4.8 vs 9.6±7.3, P=0.087). Conclusion: Compared with otolith reposition, personalized vestibular rehabilitation therapy plays a better role in improving the symptoms and decreasing DHI score for patients with atypical BPPV.

BACKGROUND: The Dix-Hallpike (DH) test is a gold standard for diagnosing benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV). However, lateral semicircular canal BPPV is not rare. We have been performing the new roll test that begins from the sitting position and contains a head-hanging position, in order not to overlook lateral canal BPPV. We noticed that transient vertical/torsional nystagmus sometimes occurs during the new roll test. OBJECTIVE: To clarify the value of the new roll test in diagnosing posterior canal BPPV and elucidate the position that elicits nystagmus. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The subjects were 100 consecutive patients (79 were female, 21 were male) with posterior canal BPPV. We classified the patients into four types based on a position that induced nystagmus. RESULTS: The patient's position that elicited nystagmus varied. The supine type accounted for 24 %, the lateral type accounted for 62 %, the head-hanging type accounted for 9 %, and the DH type accounted for 5 %. CONCLUSION: The new roll test is valuable for diagnosing posterior canalolithiasis cases. Most patients reveal vertical/torsional nystagmus in the supine or lateral position. Therefore, performing the new roll test first is efficient at the initial visit.

BACKGROUND: Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) is a prevalent form of vertigo that necessitates a skilled physician to diagnose by observing the nystagmus and vertigo resulting from specific changes in the patient's position. In this study, we aim to explore the integration of eye movement video and position information for BPPV diagnosis and apply artificial intelligence (AI) methods to improve the accuracy of BPPV diagnosis. METHODS: We collected eye movement video and diagnostic data from 518 patients with BPPV who visited the hospital for examination from January to March 2021 and developed a BPPV dataset. Based on the characteristics of the dataset, we propose a multimodal deep learning diagnostic model, which combines a video understanding model, self-encoder, and cross-attention mechanism structure. RESULT: Our validation test on the test set showed that the average accuracy of the model reached 81.7%, demonstrating the effectiveness of the proposed multimodal deep learning method for BPPV diagnosis. Furthermore, our study highlights the significance of combining head position information and eye movement information in BPPV diagnosis. We also found that postural and eye movement information plays a critical role in the diagnosis of BPPV, as demonstrated by exploring the necessity of postural information for the diagnostic model and the contribution of cross-attention mechanisms to the fusion of postural and oculomotor information. Our results underscore the potential of AI-based methods for improving the accuracy of BPPV diagnosis and the importance of considering both postural and oculomotor information in BPPV diagnosis.

BACKGROUND: The upright head roll test (UHRT) is a recently introduced diagnostic maneuver for lateral semicircular canal benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (LSC-BPPV). OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to evaluate the reliability and validity of the UHRT. METHODS: Two separate studies were conducted. Study 1 analyzed 827 results of videonystagmography (VNG) to assess UHRT reliability, and Study 2 analyzed 130 LSC-BPPV cases to evaluate UHRT validity. RESULTS: The inter-test reliability between UHRT and the supine head roll test (SHRT) showed substantial agreement (Cohen's kappaâ=â0.753) in direction-changing positional nystagmus (DCPN) and almost perfect agreement (Cohen's kappaâ=â0.836) in distinguishing the direction of DCPN. The validity assessment of UHRT showed high accuracy in diagnosing LSC-BPPV (80.0%) and in differentiating the variant types (74.6%). UHRT was highly accurate in diagnosing the canalolithiasis type in LSC-BPPV patients (Cohen's kappaâ=â0.835); however, it showed only moderate accuracy in diagnosing the cupulolithiasis type (Cohen's kappaâ=â0.415). The intensity of nystagmus in UHRT was relatively weaker than that in SHRT (Pâ<â0.05). CONCLUSION: UHRT is a reliable test for diagnosing LSC-BPPV and distinguishing subtypes. However, UHRT has a limitation in discriminating the affected side owing to a weaker intensity of nystagmus than SHRT.

INTRODUCTION: The aim of the present study was to evaluate the characteristics of brain injury and to assess the relationship between them and treatment outcomes in patients with traumatic benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (t-BPPV). MATERIALS AND METHODS: Sixty-three consecutive patients who were diagnosed with BPPV within 2 weeks after head trauma were included. RESULTS: Cerebral concussion, intracranial hemorrhages (ICH), skull fracture without ICH, and hemorrhagic contusion were observed in 68%, 24%, 5%, and 3% of t-BPPV patients, respectively. BPPV with single canal involvement was observed in 52 (83%) patients and that with multiple canal involvement was observed in 11 (17%) patients. The number of treatment sessions was not significantly different according to the cause of head trauma (p = 0.252), type of brain injury (p = 0.308) or location of head trauma (p = 0.287). The number of recurrences was not significantly different according to the cause of head trauma (p = 0.308), type of brain injury (p = 0.536) or location of head trauma (p = 0.138).
