ABSTRACT Objective: Efficacy and tolerability of the fixed combination cinnarizine 20mg/dimenhydrinate 40mg was compared to cinnarizine 50mg and dimenhydrinate 100mg in peripheral, central or mixed peripheral/central vertigo. Methods: 189 patients were randomized to receive 1 tablet of medication, 3 times daily, for 4 weeks. Vertigo (‘mean vertigo score’, MVS) and concomitant symptoms, balance (craniocorpography) and […]

Important Trends in the Vertigo Treatment during the Years 1970 till 2010 on an International Scale Claussen Claus F. et all Through the evaluation of more than 130.000 clinical neurootological cases we have designed a topodiagnostic equilibriometry. Medical action has to deal with the complaints of the patients, the medical diagnostics in morphology and function […]
Abstract The achievment of correct erect standing position, both in static and in dynamic conditions, require continuos adaptation of couterreaction of antigravitary muscles to the gravity force, in order to stabilize head position and to mantain erect position itself. Maintaining of upright position of the body is acquired via a continual to and fro movement […]
ABSTRACT Objective: To assess equilibrium disorders in Multiple Sclerosis (MS) patients Design: Posturography in mildly to moderately disable patients (EDSS, range 1,5 to 3,5). Patients: 38 definite MS inpatients (22 females and 16 males, aged 22-58 yy, mean age 38 yy) . Interventation: Posturography in four conditions: eyes open and closed standing on a solid […]
The electronystagmographical analysis is very important in most of the vestibular disorders. The analysis of the caloric test is very useful in the differential diagnostic procedure of central and peripheral vestibular lesions. Authors analyzed the results of their 327 patients examined in the last 18 months. Methods: In the OKN test the target is moving […]
