| ABSTRACT |
Objective:
This clinical study was performed with a female patient to evaluate the effects of combined Eastern-Western medicine treatment on benign paroxysmal positional vertigo after acute vestibular neuritis.
Method:
We used acupuncture, herbal medication, Western medication, fluid therapy, and the canalith repositioning maneuver to treat a female patient suffering from dizzy spells. The vertigo scale was checked to assess any improvement in symptoms.
Results:
The patient had originally recovered from acute vestibular neuritis, but after the first discharge, she came down with benign paroxysmal positional vertigo and had to be rehospitalized. She eventually got better, however, and her score on the vertigo scale improved.
Conclusion:
This study demonstrates that combined Eastern-Western medicine treatment may be an effective option for treating benign paroxysmal positional vertigo after acute vestibular neuritis, despite the difficulty of the treatment in this case. |
