ObjectiveTo examine the idea that symptoms of persistent postural perceptual dizziness (PPPD) are more common than previously assumed and lie on a spectrum in the general population, thus challenging current theories that PPPD is only a consequence of a vestibular insult.MethodsWe collected 2 common clinical questionnaires of PPPD (Visual Vertigo Analogue Scale [VVAS] and Situational Characteristics Questionnaire [SCQ]) in 4 cohorts: community research volunteers (n = 1941 for VVAS, n = 1,474 for SCQ); paid online participants (n = 190 for VVAS, n = 125 for SCQ); students (n = 204, VVAS only); and patients diagnosed with PPPD (n = 25).ResultsWe found that around 9%, 4%, and 11%, respectively, of the 3 nonclinical cohorts scored above the 25th percentile patient score on 1 PPPD measure (VVAS) and 49% and 54% scored above the 25th percentile patient score on the other measure (SCQ). Scores correlated negatively with age (counter to expectation). As expected, scores correlated with migraine in 2 populations, but this only explained a small part of the variance, suggesting that migraine is not the major factor underlying the spectrum of PPPD symptoms in the general population.ConclusionWe found high levels of PPPD symptoms in nonclinical populations, suggesting that PPPD is a spectrum that preexists in the population, rather than only being a consequence of vestibular insult. Atypical visuo-vestibular processing predisposes some individuals to visually induced dizziness, which is then exacerbated should vestibular insult (or more generalized insult) occur.

AbstractTo determine the effect of customized vestibular exercise (VE) and optokinetic stimulation (OS) using a virtual reality system in patients with persistent postural-perceptual dizziness (PPPD). Patients diagnosed with PPPD were randomly assigned to the VE group or VE with OS group. All participants received VE for 20 min using a virtual reality system with a head mount display once a week for 4 weeks. The patients in the VE with OS group additionally received OS for 9 min. We analysed the questionnaires, timed up-to-go (TUG) test, and posturography scores at baseline and after 4 weeks. A total of 28 patients (median age = 74.5, IQR 66–78, men = 12) completed the intervention. From baseline to 4 weeks, the dizziness handicap inventory, activities of daily living (ADL), visual vertigo analogue scale, and TUG improved in the VE group, but only ADL and TUG improved in the VE with OS group. Patients with severe visual vertigo improved more on their symptoms than patients with lesser visual vertigo (Pearson’s p = 0.716, p < 0.001). Our VE program can improve dizziness, quality of life, and gait function in PPPD; however, additional optokinetic stimuli should be applied for individuals with visual vertigo symptoms.

Zusammenfassung Ziel: In einer doppelblinden, randomisierten, plazebokontrollierten, multizentrischen klinischen Studie wurden Wirksamkeit und Verträglichkeit einer systemischen Enzymtherapie bei Patienten mit akuter Thrombophlebitis superficialis im Beinbereich untersucht. Methode: 159 Patienten wurden aufgenommen; in der Verumgruppe wurden 79, in der Plazebogruppe 77 Patienten einer maximal 14 ± 2-tägigen Behandlung unterzogen. Die eingesetzte Dosis des Enzympräparats (Wobenzym® N, Mucos Pharma) betrug 3 × 4 magensaftresistente Dragees täglich. Alle Patienten erhielten zusätzlich einen Kompressionsstrumpf. Das Hauptzielkriterium war die Abnahme des Spontanschmerzes bis Tag 7, der bei Studienbeginn wenigstens 4 Scorepunkte auf einer Visual Rating Analogue Scale (VRAS) betragen musste. Ergebnisse: Unter der Behandlung kam es am Tag 7 zu einer signifikant stärkeren Schmerzreduktion unter Verum verglichen mit Plazebo (p = 0,0071). Das sekundäre Zielkriterium, die Responderraten (Abnahme des Schmerzscores auf 0 oder 1), betrug bei Abschluss der Behandlung unter Verum 77,0% und unter Plazebo 58,1% (p = 0,011). 8 Nebenzielparameter wurden untersucht. Diese Parameter und auch die Abschlussurteile zur Wirksamkeit ergaben signifikante Gruppenunterschiede zugunsten der Enzymtherapie. Schlussfolgerung: Diese Studie konnte die klinische Wirksamkeit und die gute Verträglichkeit der systemischen Enzymtherapie bei der Behandlung der akuten Thrombophlebitis superficialis beweisen, was für die antiphlogistische, antiödematöse und analgetische Wirkung dieser Therapie spricht.

Implant-supported prostheses hygiene and peri-implant tissues health are considered to be predictive factors for successful prosthetic rehabilitation. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of brushing associated with oral irrigation measured as biofilm-removing capacity, maintenance of healthy oral tissues, and patient satisfaction. A randomized, crossover clinical trial was conducted with 38 patients who wore conventional maxillary complete dentures and mandibular overdentures retained by the O-ring system. The patients were instructed to use the following hygiene methods for 14 days: mechanical brushing [MB (brush and dentifrice - Control)]; and MB with oral irrigation [WP (Waterpik - Experimental)]. Biofilm-removing capacity and maintenance of healthy oral tissues were evaluated by the Modified Plaque Index (PI), Gingival Index (GI), Probing Depth (PD), and Bleeding on Probing Index (BP) recorded at baseline and after each method. In parallel, patients answered a specific questionnaire using a Visual Analogue Scale after each hygiene method. Data were analyzed by Friedman and Wilcoxon tests (α=0.05). The results showed significantly lower PI, GI, PD, and BP indices after application of the hygiene methods (P&lt;0.001) than those observed at baseline. However, no significant difference was found between MB and WP. The satisfaction questionnaire responses to both methods showed high mean values for all questions, with no statistically significant difference found between the answers given after the use of MB and WP (P&gt;0.05). The findings suggest that WP was effective in reducing PI, GI, PD, and BP indices and provided a high level of patient satisfaction.
