Abstract
|
|
|
Objectives: This study provides evidence for clinical practices by analyzing present clinical Korean medicine articles about benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV).
Methods: Articles published up to July, 2017 were found by searching “BPPV”, “Benign positions”, and “Vertigo” as keywords in three domestic electric databases (i.e., OASIS, NDSL, RISS).
Results: The initial search resulted in 228 articles; however, only 20 articles satisfied the selection criteria and were analyzed. Of these, 40% were published in the Journal of Korean Oriental Internal Medicine, and 35% were published in 2003. When diagnosing BPPV patients, VAS scores are primarily used for clinical assessments rather than objective diagnostic tools. Banhabaekchulcheonmatang was the most frequent herbal medicine used to treat BPPV, and the most commonly used therapeutic acupuncture point was Jok-samni (ST36). The most common diagnosis of BPPV was dam-eum according to nine studies.
Conclusions: Systematic and large-scale research for the standardization of BPPV treatment is needed.
