Цель исследования - изучение возможности компьютерной стабилометрической диагностики для объективизации головокружения у пожилых пациентов с вестибулярной мигренью. В исследование были включены 57 пожилых пациентов с вестибулярной мигренью и 57 пожилых пациентов с центральным вестибулярным головокружением без мигрени. Для объективизации головокружения применяли специализированные тесты функциональной компьютерной стабилометрии. Проведенное исследование позволило выявить особенности базовых стабилометрических параметров в специализированных тестах у пожилых пациентов, которые можно использовать для получения количественной оценки вестибулярной дисфункции и объективизации головокружения. The purpose of the study was to study the possibility of computer stabilometric diagnostics for the objectification of vertigo in elderly patients with vestibular migraine. The study included 57 elderly patients with vestibular migraine and 57 elderly patients with central vestibular vertigo, without migraine. Specialized tests of functional computer stabilometry were used to objectify vertigo. The study revealed the features of the basic stabilometric parameters in specialized tests in elderly patients, which can be used to obtain a quantitative assessment of vestibular dysfunction and objectification of vertigo.

AbstractObjective:The aim of this retrospective analysis was to evaluate the diagnosis of vertigo, dizziness and imbalance in elderly patients in two tertiary neurotology clinics.Design and setting:Six hundred and seventy-seven patients aged over 65 years were assessed by the same senior author, and 601 patients were enrolled in the study.Results:The most frequent diagnoses were benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (42.43 per cent), idiopathic vestibulopathy (20.29 per cent), migraine vestibulopathy (13.15 per cent), Ménière's disease (12.47 per cent) and acute vestibular attack (6.49 per cent).Conclusion and significance:This retrospective study showed that 93.5 per cent of the elderly patients studied had been diagnosed with peripheral vertigo. The majority of patients had been classified as having benign paroxysmal positional vertigo, idiopathic vestibulopathy or migraine vestibulopathy.

Objective.The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether elderly patients with vestibular dysfunction are able to preserve physical functional level, reduction in dizziness, and the patient’s quality of life when assistive computer technology is used in comparison with printed instructions.Materials and Methods. Single-blind, randomized, controlled follow-up study. Fifty-seven elderly patients with chronic dizziness were randomly assigned to a computer-assisted home exercise program or to home exercises as described in printed instructions and followed for tree month after discharge from an outpatient clinic.Results. Both groups had maintained their high functional levels three months after finishing the outpatient rehabilitation. No statistically significant difference was found in outcome scores between the two groups. In spite of moderate compliance levels, the patients maintained their high functional level indicating that the elderly should not necessarily exercise for the first three months after termination of the training in the outpatient clinic.Conclusion. Elderly vestibular dysfunction patients exercising at home seem to maintain their functional level, level of dizziness, and quality of life three months following discharge from hospital. In this specific setup, no greater effect was found by introducing a computer-assisted training program, when compared to standard home training guided by printed instructions. This trial is registered withNCT01344408.
