ABSTRACT
Objective To observe the efficacy of biofeedback behavioral cognitive and vestibular re-habilitation treatment in patients with chronic subjective dizziness( CSD) . Methods 60 patients with chro-nic subjective dizziness were divided into two groups: study group ( 30 cases) treated with drug,vestibular rehabilitation and biofeedback behavioral cognitive therapy,and the control group (30 cases) was treated with drug treatment by random number table method,and all the 60 patients in the study were assessed by DHI,HADS and SF-36. Results After four and six weeks of treatment,the DHI and HADS scale scores of the study group were(4 weeks:DHI(9.07±3.18),HADS(3.17±1.56);6 weeks:DHI(4.67±3.08),HADS (2.03±1.10)),and the scores of the control group were(4 weeks:DHI(13.20±4.48),HADS(4.90±2.40);6 weeks:DHI(12.13±3.60),HADS(4.57±2.06)),and the differences were statistically significant(all P<0.05).After 6 weeks treatment,SF-36 scores in eight aspects about physiological function,role-physical,bodi-ly pain,general health,vitality,social-functioning,role-emotional,and mental health,in the study group were (96.17±5.20),(95.00±5.72),(96.67±4.79),(95.17±5.33),(95.50±5.14),(94.58±9.10),(88.90± 18.21),(96.67±4.59)and the control group were(85.33±11.29),(82.67±9.07),(88.53±8.63),(80.83± 7.44),(88.00±8.47),(80.00±14.90),(64.44±27.60),(81.73±14.04),the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).Conclusion The study indicates that vestibular rehabilitation and biofeedback behav-ioral cognitive therapy can significantly improve symptoms of dizziness,anxiety,depression and quality of life.
