Background
It is not yet clarified the effect of vestibular rehabilitation on patients with vestibular migraine (VM) .
Aims/Objectives
In this study, we aimed to compare the effect of vestibular rehabilitation on patients with VM and those in the chronic stage of vestibular neuritis (VN).
Material and Methods
A total of 26 patients with VM and 31 patients in the chronic stage of VN who were treated. All patients underwent an in-hospitalized vestibular rehabilitation program. A variety of data including the Dizziness Handicap Inventory (DHI), POMS, and posturography were compared.
Results
Before treatment, there was no significant difference in the parameters between the two groups, except for a higher confusion score of Profile of Mood States (POMS) in the VM group. In both groups, the DHI score significantly improved. In the VM group, the confusion score of POMS, physical component score (PCS) of SF-8, and some parameters in posturography significantly improved. In the VN group, anxiety, depression, and PCS of SF-8 significantly improved.
Conclusions and Significance
The higher confusion score of POMS in patients with VM reflects the known increased comorbidity risk of psychiatric disorders. In both groups, in-hospitalized vestibular rehabilitation was effective in alleviating the subjective and objective parameters of vestibular symptoms within a month.
