REHABILITATION OF PATIENTS WITH VESTIBULAR DISORDERS

Vestibular disorders are one of the most common causes of dizziness and loss of stability. Rehabilitation of patients with vestibular disorders is based on identifying the underlying disease and its effective treatment. The most common causes of vestibular disorders are benign paroxysmal positional vertigo, migraine-associated dizziness, Meniere’s disease, vestibular neurons. However, these diseases of the vestibular system often are undiagnosed, which may be due to a lack of awareness of physicians about the possible causes of vertigo, diagnostic methods of vestibular diseases, and failure to comply with the examination protocol of the vestibular system. At present, modern and effective methods of treatment and rehabilitation of patients with various vestibular diseases are developed. We need a comprehensive approach to treatment and rehabilitation of patients with vestibular disorders with a combination of methods of physical rehabilitation with medical drugs that accelerate the process of vestibular compensation. High performance is demonstrated by a method of rehabilitation on stabilographic platform with biological feedback. Possibilities to use Vazobral to treat migraine-associated vertigo are discussed as well as a possibility to use it as a drug accelerating the process of vestibular compensation.
