About this study

Official title: Can Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV) be Treated Faster and More Efficiently by Using a Mechanical Rotational Chair Compared to the Traditional Manual Repositioning Maneuvers?

Comparison of treatment efficacy of a mechanical rotational chair (TRV-chair) vs. manual repositioning maneuvers in BPPV

Read the detailed description

Open-label, randomized controlled trial comparing manual repositioning maneuvers with a mechanical rotational chair (TRV-chair) in diagnosing and treating BPPV. Patients with suspected BPPV will be randomized to either manual repositioning maneuvers or the TRV-chair.

Study groups in NCT03871413
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Manual repositioning maneuverActive comparatorDiagnostics and treatment of BPPV with manual repositioning maneuvers. In case of posterior canal involvement, Epley's maneuver will be used. In case of horizontal canal involvement, the log roll maneuver will be used.
Receives: Procedure: Manual repositioning maneuver
Treatment in mechanical rotational chair (TRV-chair)ExperimentalDiagnostics and treatment of BPPV with the use of a TRV chair. In case of posterior canal involvement, Epley's maneuver will be used with the addition of 10 kinetic impulses in each position. In case of horizontal canal involvement, the log roll maneuver will be used with the addition of 10 kinetic impulses in each position.
Receives: Device: TRV-chair

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Number of treatments

    Number of treatment necessary to achieve resolution of vertigo and nystagmus

    Measured: 2 years

  2. Treatment success after first treatment

    Number of subjects achieving resolution of vertigo and nystagmus after one treatment

    Measured: 2 years

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Dizziness Handicap Inventory (DHI) questionnaire

    Comparison of pre-treatment score and post-treatment score

    Measured: 2 years

  2. Adverse events

    Registration of adverse events

    Measured: 2 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing TRV-chair and Manual repositioning maneuver in people with BPPV, run by Aalborg University Hospital at 1 site in Denmark.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 5 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 23 Jul 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Denmark. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Number of treatments (time frame: 2 years). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 23 Jul 2020.
