Multimodal Physiotherapy for Balance and Vertigo in BPPV Patients
Sponsor: Riphah International University
Summary
This study aims to evaluate the effects of a multimodal physiotherapy approach on balance, vertigo, fear of falling, and quality of life in patients with benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV). BPPV is a common vestibular disorder that causes dizziness and balance problems, leading to an increased risk of falls and reduced quality of life. In this randomized controlled trial, participants will be assigned to two groups: one receiving a multimodal physiotherapy program including patient education, Epley maneuver, and balance training, and the other receiving standard Epley maneuver treatment. The intervention will be conducted over four weeks. Outcomes will be assessed using standardized tools for balance, vertigo, fear of falling, and quality of life. The study aims to determine whether a combined physiotherapy approach provides better outcomes than standard treatment alone.
