[The clinical application of vestibular diagnosis and treatment system in benign paroxysmal positional vertigo]

To evaluate the effect of the vestibular diagnosis and treatment system (SRM-IV ) in diagnosis and treatment of patients with benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV).

Patients who were diagnosed as BPPV by SRM-TV in the clinic of our hospital from November 2013 to October 2014 were retrospectively analyzed in this study.

Among 425 suspected cases, 230 BPPV-positive patients were diagnosed including 131 cases of posterior SC (57.0%), 95 cases of horizontal SC (41.3%) and 4 cases of more than two SC (1.7%). The cure rate by SRM-V was 94.6% and the effective rate was 100.0%. The relapsed occurred in 10 patients (4.8%), which contained 4 men and 6 women.

SRM-V can realize 360° reasonable repositioning procedure while Canalish reposition procedure cannot. SRM-V can improve both the corrective rate of diagnosis and the cure rate, especially for the patients who suffered from complex BPPV.
