Abstract

Objective: Evaluate the results of treating patients with peripheral vertigo using the Epley test at the Department of General Internal Medicine, Hai Duong University of Medical Technology Hospital. Research subjects and methods: cross-sectional description, convenience sampling. Results: Peripheral vertigo was found to be more common in women (80.8%) than in men (19.2%), the ratio of women: men = 4:1. In a total of 49 patients with peripheral vertigo, Benign paroxysmal syndrome, there were 42 positive cases with the Dix Hallpike test, 31 patients of which agreed to be treated with the Epley test, accounting for 59.6%. The success rate is 100%, including 3 cases of increased nausea after the test, 1 case of vomiting and 1 case of increased dizziness. Conclusion: Treatment of peripheral vertigo using medication combined with the Epley maneuver is highly effective, but it is still necessary to prevent complications from occurring (nausea, vomiting, increased dizziness).
