Abstract

|
|
|
Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo(BPPV) is the most common peripheral vestibular disorder clinically. It causes dizziness or vertigo, lightheadedness, imbalance, and nausea. by a change of position of the head with respect to gravity. BPPV is very well explained by mechanical consequences of loose debris within the inner ear and oriental medical theory of vertigo resulting from Phlegm(痰). Therefore, for treatment of BPPV, we can consider not only oriental medical therapy but also Canalith Repositioning Procedure. We report four improved cases of dizziness patient diagnosed BPPV and Dam Hun(痰暈) treated by canalith repositioning procedure and herbal medication and acupuncture.
