Brief Summary

The purpose of this study was to investigated effectiveness of temporamandibular joint and soft tissue mobilization on patients with Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV).

Detailed Description

Aim: In this study was aimed to investigated effectiveness of temporamandibular joint and soft tissue mobilization on patients with Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV). Material and Methods; Dix Hallpike maneuver was administered to all patients to confirm the diagnosis at the initial evaluation. If the Dix Hallpike test was positive, Epley maneuver was applied The patients were randomly divided into 2 groups as study group (n=) and control groups (n= ). Temporomandibular joint ve soft tissue techniques were applied 30 minutes once a week for 4 weeks by physiotherapist. Routin medication therapy was applied to control group. Both groups were asked to do the home exercise program twice a day consisting of vestibular exercise videos sent over whatss app. It was questioned with a phone call once a week whether the exercises were done or not. Patients were evaluated by Dizziness Disability Inventory (DHI) , Dizziness Assessment- Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), Vertigo Symptom Scale-Short Form (VSS) , Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI) , Vertigo Dizziness Imbalance Questionnaire (VDI) , Tinnitus Disability Scale (TDS), Romberg Posture Test , Tandem Posture Test, Semitandem Tandem Balance Test, Fonseca's Anamnestic Index (FAI) and amount of mouth opening was measured with goniometer before and after treatment.
