Abstract

Objective:Comparative analysis of the reduction effect of the evoked nystagmus in the non-affect side during Dix-Hallpike(D-H) or Roll-test in unilateral posterior semicircular canal benign paroxysmal positional vertigo(PC-BPPV) and PC-BPPV without above evoked nystagmus. Method:Retrospective analysis of 210 patients diagnosed with unilateral PC-BPPV by G-Force BPPV CRP system was made. Among them, 18 patients exhibited positive nystagmus only when the non-affected side was stimulated by D-H test(Group A), 30 was evoked only when stimulated by Roll-test(Group B), 26 was evoked when stimulated by both Roll-test and the non-affected side D-H test(Group C), 136 without nystagmus in the above positions(Group D). All the patients were diagnosed by G-Force BPPV and were treated through simulative Epley or Semont CRP. Compare the reduction effect among the groups. Result:At the first time ,the reduction effect of nystagmus in Group D was superior to those in Group A and Group C(P<0.05). There was no difference between Group D and Group B(P>0.05). The difference between Group A and Group C was also non-significant(P>0.05). The average CRP times of the four groups(CRP until nystagmus disappeared or no longer alleviated) were 1.44±0.63(Group A), 1.46±0.65(Group B), 1.52±0.87(Group C) and 1.48±0.73(Group D)respectively. There were no statistic difference between four groups(P>0.05). The differences of final reduction effect between groups were the same as those at the first time. Conclusion:The first time reduction effect was less effective when nystagmus evoked the non-affect side during D-H test in unilateral PC-BPPV, while it might be irrelevant to the nystagmus evoked only in Roll-test. Although the times of CRP were similar among the groups, the final reduction effect of groups with nystagmus evoked the non-affect side during D-H was poorer.

目的:比较健侧Dix-Hallpike(D-H)及Roll-test诱发眼震的单侧后半规管良性阵发性位置性眩晕(PC-BPPV)与未出现上述眼震的单侧PC-BPPV的复位疗效并分析其原因。 方法:回顾性分析诊断为单侧PC-BPPV患者210例,其中18例仅于健侧D-H诱发眼震(A组),30例仅于Roll-test诱发眼震(B组),26例于健侧D-H及Roll-test均诱发眼震(C组),136例无出现上述眼震(D组)。以上患者均通过G-Force BPPV诊疗仪确诊并模拟Epley或者Semont方法复位,比较其复位效果。 结果:首次复位,D组复位效果优于A组和C组(P<0.05);D组与B组比较,复位效果差异无统计学意义(P>0.05);A组与C组复位效果差异无统计学意义(P>0.05)。A、B、C、D组患者予以复位治疗达到眼震消失或最终眼震减轻(再次复位眼震无改善)所需要的平均复位次数分别为(1.44±0.63)次、(1.46±0.65)次、(1.52±0.87)次、(1.48±0.73)次,4组间两两比较差异均无统计学意义(P>0.05)。而对于多次复位的效果,组间的差异与首次复位结果相同。 结论:单侧PC-BPPV行位置试验时,若健侧D-H诱发眼震,首次复位效果欠佳。若仅Roll-test诱发眼震,并不影响其首次复位效果。4种情况的PC-BPPV复位次数无明显差异,但健侧D-H诱发眼震的单侧PC-BPPV患者多次复位后效果仍欠佳。.
