| Objective:To observe the efficacy of eye acupuncture in treating residual dizziness after canalith repositioning maneuvers in patients with benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV). Methods:A total of 100 patients diagnosed with BPPV were enrolled. After canalith repositioning maneuvers, 57 patients with residual dizziness were selected and divided into a control group (n=27) and an observation group (n=30). The control group received conventional drug therapy, while the observation group received conventional drug therapy combined with eye acupuncture. The treatment course for both groups was one week. The therapeutic efficacy and changes in psychological and sleep scores were compared between the two groups. Results:The total effective rate was significantly higher in the observation group than in the control group (P < 0.05). The Dizziness Handicap Inventory (DHI) score decreased more significantly after drug therapy combined with eye acupuncture (P < 0.01). After treatment, the differences in Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HAMD) and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) scores between the two groups were statistically significant (P < 0.05), while the difference in Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HAMA) score was not statistically significant (P > 0.05). Conclusion:Eye acupuncture can significantly improve residual dizziness symptoms in patients with BPPV after repositioning maneuvers, and also has a positive effect on psychological and sleep disturbances, thereby enhancing patients'' quality of life. |
