Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 11
Abstract
Background: Dizziness is a common and often vexing symptom. Dizziness or Vertigo is a hallucination of the sense of equilibrium and movements, where the person feels that either his surroundings are going round him, or he himself is rotating. Approximately 25- 40% patients who present with the chief complaint of dizziness have benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV). BPPV is characterized by momentary vertigo, which occurs only in certain positions of the head, while changing the position. It is often accompanied by nystagmus. The lesion is supposed to be in the Otoliths of the vestibule. In half of all cases, BPPV is called ‘idiopathic”. Methods: 30 cases were selected fitting the case definition. Inclusion and exclusion criteria were laid down. Creteria for assessment was laid down. Results: All the results were tabulated. Graphical presentation was made of all the observations. Score before and after treatment was compared. It was found that there was vast difference in scores before and after treatment which showed that there was great improvement after treatment with Homoeopathic Medicines. Conclusion: Homoeopathic Medicines are effective in managing cases of BPPV
