Clinical Trial: Effectiveness of Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment (OMT) and Vestibular Rehabilitation Therapy (VRT) in Individuals With Vertigo

Study Status: Completed
Recruit Status: Completed
Study Type: Interventional

Official Title: Effectiveness of Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment (OMT) and Vestibular Rehabilitation Therapy (VRT) Alone or in Combination on Balance and Visual Function in Individuals With Vertigo and Somatic Dys

Brief Summary: Western University of Health Sciences is seeking men and women to participate in a study on the effectiveness of Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment (OMT) and Vestibular Rehabilitation Therapy (VRT) in patients with vertigo. The purpose of this study is to examine the efficacy of OMT in the treatment of individuals with vertigo, alone and in combination with Vestibular Rehabilitation Therapy (VRT). Because of the health care costs associated with vertigo, the cost effectiveness of OMT and VRT will also be examined.

Current Primary Outcome:

  • Change from Baseline in Dizziness Handicap Inventory (DHI) at 1 week [ Time Frame: Baseline to 1 week ]
    The Dizziness Handicap Inventory (DHI) is a questionnaire that was developed to measure the self-perceived level of handicap associated with the symptom of dizziness.
  • Change from Baseline in Dizziness Handicap Inventory (DHI) at 3 weeks [ Time Frame: Baseline to 3 weeks ]
    The Dizziness Handicap Inventory (DHI) is a questionnaire that was developed to measure the self-perceived level of handicap associated with the symptom of dizziness.
  • Change from Baseline in Dizziness Handicap Inventory (DHI) at 12 weeks [ Time Frame: Baseline to 12 weeks ]
    The Dizziness Handicap Inventory (DHI) is a questionnaire that was developed to measure the self-perceived level of handicap associated with the symptom of dizziness.
  • Change from Baseline in Computerized Dynamic Posturography (CDP) at 1 week [ Time Frame: Baseline to 1 week ]
    Computerized dynamic posturography (CDP), also called test of balance (TOB), is a non-invasive specialized clinical assessment technique used to quantify the central nervous system adaptive mechanisms (sensory, motor and central) involved in the control of posture and balance, both in normal (such as in physical education and sports training) and abnormal conditions (particularly in the diagnosis of balance disorders and in physical therapy and postural re-education).
  • Change from Baseline in Computerized Dynamic Posturography (CDP) at 3 weeks [ Time Frame: Bas

    Original Primary Outcome: Same as current

    Current Secondary Outcome:

    • Change from Baseline in Neuro-Optometric Evaluation at 1 week [ Time Frame: Baseline to 1 week ]
      Evaluation of visual acuity and refractive status, oculomotor function and visual field status.
    • Change from Baseline in Neuro-Optometric Evaluation at 3 weeks [ Time Frame: Baseline to 3 weeks ]
      Evaluation of visual acuity and refractive status, oculomotor function and visual field status.
    • Change from Baseline in Neuro-Optometric Evaluation at 12 weeks. [ Time Frame: Baseline to 12 weeks ]
      Evaluation of visual acuity and refractive status, oculomotor function and visual field status.


    Original Secondary Outcome: Same as current
