Summary

The study will employ a stratified randomization method. Patients presenting to the Afyonkarahisar Health Sciences University Health Application and Research Center, Ear, Nose, and Throat Outpatient Clinic, with a definitive diagnosis of Meniere's disease, unilateral or bilateral involvement, and who consent to participate in the study will be divided into three groups. The control group will receive only their routine Betahistine. Their usual treatment will remain unchanged. The first study group will receive 20 minutes of Vestibular Rehabilitation (VR) and 10 minutes of cervical mobilization in addition to their routine Betahistine. The second study group will receive 30 minutes of VR in addition to Betahistine. The study will last 6 weeks. Participants will be assessed using a sociodemographic information questionnaire, the Dizziness Handicap Inventory (DHI), the Vertigo Symptom Scale (VSS), the Neck Disability Index (NDI), the International Tinnitus Inventory (ITI), balance assessment with the K-Force Plates, and joint position sense and proprioception assessment with the Kinvent Physio K-Move. All assessments will be conducted twice, before and after treatment.

Conditions

  • Meniere Disease

Interventions

OTHER

Vestibular Rehabilitation + Cervical Mobilization

Treatment will be administered twice a week for 6 weeks, consisting of 20 minutes of vestibular rehabilitation and 10 minutes of cervical mobilization, each lasting 30 minutes. Vestibular rehabilitation will include adaptation exercises, habituation exercises, and compensation exercises. For cervical mobilization, participants will first undergo 3-4 minutes of suboccipital relaxation while lying supine to help them relax, then 2-3 minutes of cervical traction will be applied, and then, while sitting, they will mobilize the C1 and C2 vertebrae using the Mulligan concept.

OTHER

vestibular rehabilitation

Vestibular rehabilitation will be applied for 30 minutes, twice a week, for 6 weeks. Adaptation exercises, habituation exercises, and compensation exercises will be applied as vestibular rehabilitation.
