Abstract

Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) caused by dislodged inner ear otoliths is the most common cause of vertigo symptoms characterized by spinning sensations. Currently, there is no clear treatment guideline available for this condition. Therefore, the Physical Therapy Department at Trang Hospital has developed a rehabilitation guideline to improve the functional capacity of patients with BPPV using the Trang model approach and clinical outcome measures. The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of implementing this rehabilitation guideline on the clinical outcomes and reduction of vertigo symptoms. The study utilized a retrospective data review of BPPV patients who received treatment at Trang Hospital’s clinic between the years 2016 and 2021, with a total of 1,032 cases. The results demonstrated that the implementation of the new rehabilitation guideline significantly increased the number of patient discharges within five treatment sessions. The average number of visits per patient increased from 1.01 to 1.71 between the years 2020 and 2021, respectively. Moreover, patient satisfaction also showed a significant improvement. In conclusion, this study found that the development of a rehabilitation guideline for BPPV using the Trang model approach resulted in improved clinical outcomes compared to the pre-guideline period.
