Summary
Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) research has surged, with a 21.58% annual growth rate. Future studies should focus on individualized treatments for the elderly and managing comorbidities.
Area of Science:
- Otolaryngology
- Neurology
- Medical Research Trends
Background:
- Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) is a prevalent condition causing vertigo.
- BPPV significantly impacts quality of life globally.
- Understanding BPPV research trends is crucial for advancing its management.
Purpose of the Study:
- Analyze current BPPV research characteristics.
- Identify hot topics and trends in BPPV studies.
- Guide future research for improved BPPV diagnosis and treatment.
Main Methods:
- Bibliometric analysis of 1,219 BPPV studies (1974-2022).
- Data sourced from PubMed, Embase, Scopus, and Web of Science.
- R and VOSviewer used for trend and hotspot visualization.
Main Results:
- Significant annual publication increase (21.58% growth).
- Research peaked in 2021, possibly linked to COVID-19 impacts on BPPV prevalence.
- Key research themes: BPPV treatment, influencing factors, and diagnosis. USA leads in publications and collaborations.
Conclusions:
- BPPV research has expanded significantly over 50 years.
- Future research should address individualized treatments for elderly BPPV patients.
- Focus on managing comorbidities like osteoporosis and secondary inner ear diseases is recommended.

4.8K
The inner ear assumes dual functionalities of auditory perception and equilibrium maintenance. The vestibule is the organ responsible for balance. This organ contains mechanoreceptors, specifically hair cells, endowed with stereocilia, which aid in deciphering information regarding the position and motion of our heads. Two intrinsic components, the utricle and saccule, help perceive head position, while the semicircular canals track head movement. Neurological messages initiated in the...

01:29The Vestibular System
39.8K
The vestibular system is a set of inner ear structures that provide a sense of balance and spatial orientation. This system is comprised of structures within the labyrinth of the inner ear, including the cochlea and two otolith organs—the utricle and saccule. The labyrinth also contains three semicircular canals—superior, posterior, and horizontal—that are oriented on different planes.
