Detecting Otoconia With CT-Scan

NCT05969340 · Status: WITHDRAWN · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL

Summary

Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV) is a benign inner ear disease that causes the patient to experience short episodes of vertigo when there are changes in head position. The current theory on the causes of BPPV is the displacement of the otoconia from the otolith organ to the semicircular canal organs. BPPV's current treatments consist of repositioning maneuvers to readjust the location of the otoconia back to its original place. Even though the treatments are highly successful in many cases, this study, if proven successful, will help confirm this theory and will help diagnose complicated cases where BPPV is recurrent and treatment has been unsuccessful.
