Head acupuncture for BPPV residual symptoms
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system, Ear, nose & throat clinical trials.
This study tests whether head acupuncture can help with lingering symptoms (like unsteadiness or discomfort) that sometimes remain after a successful repositioning procedure for BPPV, a common cause of vertigo. If you feel better but not fully steady, this treatment might help.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with BPPV and the repositioning maneuver worked.
- After the maneuver, you still have symptoms like feeling unsteady or discomfort, but no spinning or dizziness.
- You can communicate clearly and have no vision problems that would interfere.
- You agree to the treatment plan, and your family supports it.
- You do not have other ear diseases, a history of head injury or surgery, or conditions like joint problems that affect walking.
- You are not pregnant, and you have not had vestibular rehabilitation before.
