AbstractThe deterioration of vestibular function is a side effect of numerous diseases of the inner ear. Vertigo is the most common symptom of vestibular dysfunction. Vestibule-suppressing drugs can control symptoms but impede the rehabilitation of vestibular function. Surgical treatment can effectively resolve vestibular dysfunction associated with some progressive diseases, including tumors. However, unilateral vestibular function remains permanently damaged after surgery, causing problems like vertigo and imbalance. To enhance the understanding of Vestibular rehabilitation therapy, this paper presents a summary of the progress in research on Vestibular rehabilitation therapy for patients with vestibular dysfunction.

AbstractOBJECTIVES. Reviewing the literature data related to Lindsay – Hemenway syndrome.MATERIAL AND METHODS. We searched PubMed and Google Scholar with the key words of “Lindsay-Hemenway syndrome”, “benign positional vertigo”, “vestibular rehabilitation”RESULTS. Lindsay-Hemenway syndrome is characterized by an association between vestibular neuronitis and BPPV. The specificity of the syndrome consists in the existence of an initial episode of acute vestibular neuropathy manifested by intense vertigo and nystagmus, followed in a variable time frame by episodes of posterior canal BPPV. The treatment of the syndrome consists in a combination of otolith repositioning manoeuvres and vestibular rehabilitation therapy. The physicians involved in treating patients with vestibular disorders should be aware of the existence of this syndrome in order to diagnose and treat the patients accordingly.CONCLUSION. The Lindsay-Hemenway syndrome is a challenge for the physician. In order to establish a diagnosis, a careful investigation of clinical history and objective examination are needed. The clinician should take into consideration the presence of a sudden vertigo without deafness followed by postural nystagmus, and unilateral labyrinthine hyporeflexia or absence of reflectivity. For a successful therapeutic approach, we should be able to combine manoeuvres of repositioning for BPPV with an appropriate vestibular rehabilitation therapy in order to ensure a correct central compensation of the peripheral unilateral deficit.

Objectives: Persistent postural-perceptual dizziness (PPPD) represents an important category of vertigo. Medical treatment and psychotherapy provide convenient control of symptoms. However, these management strategies can have inconvenient side effects and short-term relief, respectively. Vestibular rehabilitation therapy (VRT) is a self-conducted habituation program that can be personalized to the subject’s needs to give adequate symptom relief without side effects. The present study aims to test the effect of VRT on patients with PPPD. Methods: Participants were diagnosed as having PPPD by the exclusion of organic vestibular lesions. The study involved 2 groups with PPPD: Group I, treated with the VRT, and Group II, treated with the VRT plus placebo. The Dizziness Handicap Inventory (DHI), a self-assessment scale, was used to evaluate the VRT outcomes. Results: There was a significant decrease in functional, physical, and total scores on the DHI in both groups after VRT. Adding the placebo did not have supplementary outcomes. The patients who did not benefit from the VRT had a significantly longer duration of PPPD, more complex aggravating factors, more composite VRT exercises, and a higher DHI score than the patients who benefited from VRT. Conclusions: Customized VRT adequately reduced symptoms and improved quality of life in subjects with PPPD.
