About this study

Official title: Comparison of Treatment Efficacy of Automated Robotic Maneuvering System (RMS) Reposition Chair Versus Traditional Manual Repositioning Maneuvers in Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV)

Comparison of treatment efficacy of an automated robotic maneuvering system (RMS) repositioning chair versus manual positioning maneuvers in Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo.

Read the detailed description

The standard treatments for Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV) are manual positioning maneuvers. This method, beyond being costly and requiring extensive training, is a significant burden on healthcare resources. We developed an automated robotic maneuvering system, hereby known as RMS, to tackle this problem. Our Clinical Investigation is two-fold; (1) test the safety of RMS and, (2) understand the viability of RMS for treating BPPV when compared to manual positioning maneuvers.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Automated vertigo repositioning chairDevice

    Also called Robotic Maneuvering System (RMS)

    Patients are strapped to the chair with a safety harness, and video fenzel goggle are worn.

    Automated diagnostic procedures are performed to determine vertigo subtype and orientation (Left/Right) (described below).

    1. Dix-Hallpike (for posterior canal involvement)
    2. Supine roll (for horizontal canal involvement)
    3. (Optional) Deep Head Hanging (for anterior canal involvement)

    If nystagmus is detected during automated diagnostic maneuvers, BPPV subtype is diagnosed, and corresponding automated treatment maneuver will be performed (described below).

    1. Epley's and/or Semont's maneuver (for posterior canal involvement)
    2. Barbecue and/or Gufoni's maneuver (for horizontal canal involvement)
    3. Yacovino's maneuver (for anterior canal involvement)

    10 minutes after performing automated treatment maneuver, provocative diagnostic test maneuver was performed once again to ensure successful intervention.

    A follow-up was done one week later at the earliest.

  • Canalith Reposition ManeuverOther

    Also called Manual Reposition Maneuver

    Patients were seated on a examination table and given videonystagmography goggles (VNG).

    Manual diagnostic procedures are performed to determine vertigo subtype and orientation.

    The manual diagnostic procedures for Left and Right sided semicircular canals are:

    1. Dix-Hallpike (for posterior canal involvement)
    2. Supine roll and Bow and Lean (for horizontal canal involvement)

    If nystagmus is detected during diagnostic maneuvers, BPPV subtype is diagnosed, and corresponding treatment maneuvers will be performed manually.

    The automated treatment maneuvers are:

    1. Epley's maneuver (for posterior canal involvement)
    2. Barbecue and/or Gufoni's maneuver (for horizontal canal involvement)

    Patients were called back for a follow up 2 days after performing manual treatment maneuvers. Provocative diagnostic testing maneuvers were performed again to ensure successful intervention.

    A second follow-up was done one week later at the earliest.

Study groups in NCT05352555
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Robotic Maneuvering System (RMS)ExperimentalBPPV subtype diagnosis and corresponding treatment will be performed using automated RMS chair and recorded with video frenzel goggle. In cases of posterior canal involvement, Epley's maneuver will be used for canalithiasis and cupulolithiasis. Semont maneuver will be used as a second-line treatment for cupulolithiasis, in cases of initial failure. In cases of horizontal canal involvement, Barbecue (Lempert) maneuver will be used. If canalithiasis or cupulolithiasis is diagnosed, Gufoni's maneuver will be performed. In cases of anterior canal involvement, Yacovino's maneuver will be used.
Receives: Device: Automated vertigo repositioning chair
Canalith Reposition ManeuverActive comparatorBPPV subtype diagnosis and corresponding treatment will be performed with manual repositioning maneuvers and recorded with video frenzel goggle. In cases of posterior canal involvement, Epley's maneuver will be used. In cases of horizontal canal involvement, Log roll maneuver will be used. In cases of anterior canal involvement, Yacovino's maneuver will be used.
Receives: Other: Canalith Reposition Maneuver

Model description
Patients previously diagnosed with BPPV were referred to vestibular laboratory at the Department of Otolaryngology at Haseki Sultangazi Teaching and Research Hospital. Videonystagmography was performed on all subjects to confirm the BPPV diagnosis. Patients were then randomly divided into two groups; experimental and control. The experimental group was treated with RMS, while control group was treated with traditional manual canalith repositioning maneuvers on an examination table.

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 5 inclusion and 6 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 29 Apr 2022. 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 Turkey (Türkiye). 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.

What does this combined phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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: 1 month (30 days)). 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?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT05352555, which also lists 8 linked publications.

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 29 Apr 2022.
