• Study Type: interventional
• Target: 67

Brief Summary

Using the data obtained in a study carried out at the Hospital of Alcañiz (Teruel, Spain) between February and July 2019, with a stabilometric platform and with movement sensors, the investigators want to demonstrate that the rehabilitation works in those patients with vertigo or dizziness of cervical origin. For this, the data obtained from that sample, which was of 67 patients, will be analyzed in a pre-post rehabilitation treatment study, objectifying whether the patients improved or not, both in terms of imbalance and cervical pain, if any.

Conditions

Rehabilitation; Cervical Vertigo

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Number of patients who improve, worsen or do not present changes after rehabilitation treatment

  It is evaluated whether the patients, after undergoing the corresponding prescribed rehabilitation treatment, are better, worse or the same as before undergoing it.

  3 months passed between the first evaluation and the second.

Study Arms (1)

Type of rehabilitation treatment

EXPERIMENTAL

Depending on whether the cervical pain associated with vertigo in the patients associated pain radiating to the arms or not, treatment with conventional physiotherapy or electrotherapy was prescribed. In addition, both groups had a control group that performed exercises at home prescribed by a physician.

Procedure: Rehabilitation Treatment: Physiotherapy, Electrotherapy or Exercises at home

Interventions

Rehabilitation Treatment: Physiotherapy, Electrotherapy or Exercises at home PROCEDURE

The 67 patients attended the rehabilitation consultation where, after taking the anamnesis, they began to perform balance tests with a stabilometric platform and those patients with associated neck pain, with cervical motion sensors. Treatment with conventional physiotherapy, electrotherapy or exercises at home was prescribed as appropriate to each one. 3 months later, the patients were examined again in consultation, using a new anamnesis, the platform and the sensors.
