[The effects of vestibular rehabilitation training on the symptoms of vertigo and disability in patients with vestibular peripheral vertigo].

To compare the effects of vestibular rehabilitation training and drug therapy on the symptoms of vertigo and disability in patients with vestibular peripheral vertigo. This prospective study was enrolled 43 patients with vestibular peripheral vertigo who admitted to the outpatient department of Eye & ENT Hospital of Fudan University from January 2018 to December 2018. They were randomly divided into two groups: control group (drug treatment group) and experimental group (drug treatment combined rehabilitation training group). All patients filled in the first vertigo disability rating scale (DHI), specific activity balance confidence scale (ABC) and anxiety self-rating scale (SAS) on the day of treatment and at two, four and eight weeks after treatment intervention, and the data were statistically analyzed. There was no significant difference in gender, age and body weight between the two groups (0.05). After treatment (Control group (4w) : DHI (45.5±30.6) , ABC (86.9±12.4) , SAS (37.9±8.2) Experimental group (8w) : DHI (34.8±28.5) , SAS (35.7±7.9) ) , the three scales of the two groups were better than before treatment (Control group: DHI (59.2±25.9) , ABC (79.7±16.7) ,SAS (41.1±6.8) ; Experimental group: DHI (55.2±20.5) , ABC (80.3±18.3) , SAS (41.9±9.1) ) . The comparison of data before and after treatment in each group according to treatment time indicated that DHI and ABC scores in the experimental group showed that the DHI and ABC scores of the experimental group changed significantly at 2 weeks after treatment, and the SAS scores changed at 4 weeks after treatment. The difference was statistically significant (0.05). However, there was a statistically significant difference between the control group DHI score 4 weeks after treatment and SAS score 8 weeks after treatment (0.05). ABC score did not show statistical difference (0.05). The subjective symptoms and anxiety of vertigo and disability in the two groups improved obviously after treatment. Compared with drug therapy alone, drug therapy combined with vestibular rehabilitation training can significantly improve patients' subjective symptoms of vertigo and disability, as well as their anxiety and depression, so as to improve their overall quality of life.
