Factors associated with quality of life in Menière's disease

The aim of this study was to identify the factors associated with better or worse quality of life in a sample of people with Menière's disease drawn from a UK self‐help group (the Menière's Society) and to assess the forms of support on which the respondents could draw. A postal survey was sent to 1000 randomly selected group members, containing validated questionnaires assessing: (1) quality of life (the Short Form 36 (SF‐36)); (2) factors that might predict quality of life; and (3) usage of resources provided to members by the Menière's Society. A total of 509 members completed the main survey, and 370 the second part of the survey. Factors associated with a less good quality of life included more severe vertigo, pressure in the ear, hearing loss and tinnitus, being younger, being female, living alone, having a lower occupational status and believing that the attitude of the consultant is unhelpful. Levels of vertigo severity in this sample were similar to those found in hospital samples, but it is possible that these respondents may differ in other respects from patients who do not join a self‐help group.     

同时性后半规管与水平半规管性良性位置性眩晕

目的：探讨同时性后半规管与水平半规管性良性位置性眩晕（混合性良性位置性眩晕）的诊治方法。方法：联合应用Epley手法和Barbecue翻滚法对4例患者进行治疗，两次治疗间隔1d。结果：4例患者眩晕症状完全消失，随访至今无复发。结论：混合性良性位置性眩晕兼有后半规管与水平半规管性良性位置性眩晕的临床表现，联合采用Epley手法和Barbecue翻滚法治疗该病是可行的。     

阿托品联用参麦注射液治疗眩晕症疗效观察--附98例报告

目的观察、评价联用阿托品、参麦注射液治疗眩晕症的临床疗效.方法基本确诊后的144例眩晕症病人随机分为两组(治疗组与对照组例数按大约2:1的比例分配),所有病人均予静滴等量的能量合剂等基本治疗.治疗组98例采用阿托品、参麦注射液治疗,对照组46例采用阿托品、复方丹参注射液治疗.比较两组的疗效.结果治疗组较对照组治愈时间缩短、治愈率提高,治疗组总有效率97.96%,两组比较有统计学意义(P＜0.05).结论阿托品与参麦注射液联合治疗眩晕症效果理想.     

鼻咽癌放疗致位置性眩晕(附3例报告)

目的：探讨电离辐射对内耳前庭的影响。方法：报道鼻咽癌（ＮＰＣ）放疗致发作性位置性眩晕（ＢＰＰＶ）伴听力减退患者３例。采用耳石微粒复位法（ＰＲＭ）治疗ＢＰＰＶ,针对听力减退给予丹参治疗。结果：３例ＢＰＰＶ,２例痊愈,１例显效,听力下降的４耳语音频率平均提高１０ｄＢ。结论：ＢＰＰＶ可能与辐射所致的前庭损害有关,ＰＲＭ是治疗ＢＰＰＶ是一种有效方法。     

The Epley maneuver for the treatment of benign paroxysmal positional vertigo

In recent years, different forms of physical therapy have been proposed for the treatment of benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV). These mainly consist of maneuvers aiming to reposition and disperse free-floating endolymph particles in the posterior semicircular canal. We report our experience with one of these procedures, the Epley maneuver (EM), in treating 30 cases of BPPV. Twenty-six patients (87%) were cured, while four (13%) did not respond to treatment. These results are similar to those reported in the literature for the EM and the Sémont maneuver.     

葛根素治疗颈性眩晕临床观察

以葛根素加半夏白术天麻汤治疗颈性眩晕45例，为治疗组；以西北灵加半夏白术天麻汤治疗42例，为对照组。通过两组临床疗效观察：治疗组显效27例，有效16例，无效2例，有效率为96．0％；对照组显效8例，有效24例，无效10例，有效率为77．0％，对比有显著性差异（P＜0．01）。     

眩晕康治疗椎-基底动脉缺血性眩晕90例临床研究

目的:观察眩晕康治疗椎-基底动脉缺血性眩晕的临床疗效。方法:选择椎-基底动脉缺血性眩晕患者120例,随机分为2组。治疗组90例,以眩晕康治疗;对照组30例,以尼莫通(现改名为尼膜同)治疗。观察临床疗效、治疗前后症状积分、椎-基底动脉血平均流速、血液流变学指标及血浆内皮素(ET)、一氧化氮(NO)、血浆脂质过氧化物(LPO)、超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)等指标变化情况。结果:总有效率治疗组为96.7％,对照组为83.3％,2组比较,差异有显著性意义(P<0.05),提示治疗组疗效优于对照组。2组治疗前后症状总积分比较,治疗组优于对照组(P<0.05)。而且治疗组椎-基底动脉血平均流速、血液流变学指标、ET、NO、LPO、SOD等指标的改善均优于对照组(P<0.05)。结论:眩晕康是治疗椎-基底动脉缺血性眩晕的有效中成药。     

综合治疗颈性眩晕症的临床观察

目的:探讨针灸、推拿、中药外敷治疗颈性眩晕,并与针刺组、针刺推拿组及针刺推拿药物组对照比较.结果:针刺推拿药物组总有效率99%,针刺推拿组为95.7%,针刺组为87.8%,针刺推拿药物组与其他两组比较有显著差异,P＜0.05.结论:针刺推拿药物组疗效明显优于针刺推拿组及针刺组.
