Abstract
Objective
This study aims to investigate the effect of TRV chair on residual dizziness (RD) after idiopathic posterior semicircular canal benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) successfully treated with canalith repositioning maneuver (CRM).
Study Design
Prospective case–control study.
Setting
Hospital.
Patients
Thirty-three patients with posterior canal BPPV were included in the study. These patients were divided into two identical groups. CRM was applied to the first group with a TRV chair (TRV group) and manually to the second group (manual group).
Interventions
Dizziness Handicap Inventory (DHI), Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI), and video head impulse test were applied to the patients. Patients in both groups were asked to report the RD developed after successful CRM daily by visual analog scale (VAS).
Results
The TRV group’s first-day RD rate was 94.1% with VAS, and the RD duration was 2.47 ± 1.77 (0–7) days. The manual group’s first-day RD rate was 100%, and the RD duration was 3.38 ± 1.70 (1–7) days. There was no difference between the groups in terms of RD duration (p > 0.05). Mean RD severity and severity in the first 3 days were lower in the TRV group compared with the manual group (p < 0.05). There was no difference between the groups on other days (p > 0.05). In addition, there was a positive correlation between RD and DHI and BPPV duration (p < 0.05).
Conclusion
RD is a multifactorial symptom associated with how the repositioning maneuver is performed, BPPV duration, and DHI. Performing the repositioning maneuver with the TRV chair can reduce the severity of RD.
