Clinical Aspects of Patients With Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV) and Migraine

November 25, 2015 updated by: Sertac Yetiser, Anadolu Medical Center
The aim of this study is to analyze the clinical aspects of patients with BPPV associated with migraine. It is our purpose to clarify weather migraine is a risk factor for BPPV if the clinical aspect and the therapeutic outcome is different.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

Two hundred and sixty-three patients with BPPV were enrolled in this retrospective study. All patients' charts were reviewed by independent observer. The type of BPPV and associated problems were noted. Patients with migraine were investigated in terms of age, gender, symptoms, affected side and the cure rate. Their data were compared with those having no migraine. Mean values and standard deviations (± SD) were calculated. One way ANOVA test was used for the analysis. Significance was set at p < 0.005.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

10 years to 84 years (ADULT, OLDER_ADULT, CHILD)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Sampling Method

Non-Probability Sample

Study Population

BPPV patients only confirmed by VNG

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Patients who had history of head-induced positional and brief vertigo and who have been confirmed by VNG were included

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Patients with balance problem other than BPPV,
  • Patients receiving any medication prior to therapeutic maneuver were excluded

A group or subgroup of participants in an observational study that is assessed for biomedical or health outcomes.
Intervention / Treatment

Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.
BPPV without migraine
Two hundred and sixty-three patients with BPPV (2009-2014), confirmed by videonystagmography (VNG), were enrolled in the study. Patients' charts were reviewed. They were grouped as those with or without migraine. Distribution of gender, age, duration of symptoms and affected side were reviewed. Two hundred and thirty-one patients with no migraine were identified.
Procedure: Particle re-positioning maneuver
Patients with posterior canal BPPV (PC-BPPV) were treated with Epley maneuver. Patients with superior canal (SC-BPPV) were treated with Li or reverse Epley maneuver. Patients with lateral canal (LC) apogeotropic or geotropic nystagmus were treated with Barbeque, Semont's or Gufoni maneuvers. If geotropic or ageotropic type nystagmus is equal intensity on both sides. The involved side was determined according to the patient sense of disturbance or lying down positioning test. If the patient has involvement of both sides according to Dix-Hallpike maneuver. Therapeutic maneuver was applied to the more severe side. All patients were re-evaluated at maximum 7 days.
BPPV with migraine
Thirty-two patients (11.4%) with migraine were identified. Diagnosis and classification of migraine and its differentiation from other type of headaches was based on third edition of International classification of headache disorders (ICHD-III beta) by international headache society (IHS). All patients with migraine had migrainous headache with or without aura and they all were diagnosed in our institution and followed by our neurology staff.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Number of patients who had normal vestibular response to provocative tests 7 days after re-positioning maneuver
Time Frame: 7 days
Every patient with BPPV who had positional nystagmus during Dix-Hallpike and head-roll provocative maneuvers will be treated with Epley or barbeque particle re-positioning maneuvers. Balance (positional nystagmus) of patients 7 days after re-positioning maneuvers will be assessed.
7 days
