There are many kinds of vestibular dysfunction diseases, and it is necessary to formulate corresponding therapeutic measures according to the specific vestibular dysfunction diseases as the best recovery method. The common clinical diseases leading to vestibular dysfunction are: benign paroxysmal positional vertigo, Meniere’s disease, vestibular neuronitis and other diseases.
1. Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo: the main cause of vertigo is the dislocation of otoliths into the semicircular canals, and the movement of the otoliths leads to the agitation of the endolymphatic fluid, resulting in vertigo. Otolith repositioning is the preferred treatment.
2. Meniere’s disease: the cause may be related to the accumulation of fluid and edema in the labyrinth of the inner eardrum, and the treatment can be symptomatic by using drugs such as dehydration, improving microcirculation, and inhibiting vestibular function. For patients with recurrent attacks, surgical treatment such as endolymphatic sac decompression can also be considered.
3. Vestibular neuronitis: a sudden onset vertigo disease caused by the involvement of vestibular neurons. The cause of the disease may be related to a variety of factors such as upper respiratory tract viral infections, vestibular nerve irritation and so on. Treatment requires rest, use of hormones, sedation, dizziness and other symptomatic treatment.
Therefore, if you have vestibular dysfunction, it is also recommended to go to the hospital in time, according to the cause of targeted treatment.
