Abstract:
Vestibular rehabilitation therapy (VRT) is a highly effective treatment approach for addressing both peripheral and central vestibular disorders, offering the ability to significantly improve patients\' coordination and control across the vestibular, visual, and proprioceptive systems, all of which are crucial factors in maintaining balance. By promoting vestibular compensation, VRT has been shown to mitigate or even eliminate symptoms of dizziness, vertigo, and instability. With the rapid development of vestibular research, VRT has evolved into a more individualized and precise treatment approach based on evidence-based medicine. Its clinical effectiveness has been increasingly validated in numerous studies. With the involvement of multidisciplinary experts, this article aims to reach a consensus on the pre-treatment evaluation, formulation/implementation of treatment plans, and evidence-based treatment recommendations for common vestibular disorders, focusing on the prospects of vestibular rehabilitation. The goal is to further standardize and update VRT protocols for different vestibular disorders, providing comprehensive and context-specific guidance primarily tailored to the Chinese healthcare landscape, with a notable emphasis on its clinical applicability. Concurrently, it aspires to present new insights and serve as a valuable reference point for forthcoming high-quality clinical research on vestibular rehabilitation in China.
前庭康复治疗(VRT)是治疗外周及中枢眩晕/前庭疾病的有效方法,可提高患者的前庭觉、视觉和本体觉对平衡的协调控制能力,促进前庭代偿,从而减轻或消除患者的头晕、眩晕和不稳症状。随着眩晕/前庭医学的快速发展,VRT已逐渐发展为基于循证医学的更为个体化和精准化的治疗手段,其临床疗效也在越来越多的研究中得到证实。在多学科专家的参与下,本文围绕前庭康复的治疗前评估、治疗方案的制定/实施、常见眩晕/前庭疾病基于循证医学的治疗建议达成共识,并对前庭康复的治疗前景进行展望,旨在进一步规范、补充及更新针对不同眩晕/前庭疾病的VRT方案,以期为临床提供符合我国国情、实操性强且更为详细的VRT指导,同时为国内未来前庭康复的高质量临床研究提供新的思路和参考。.
