Short-Term Central Adaptation in Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo.

ABSTRACT: Objective: To elucidate the frequency, underlying mechanisms, and clinical implications of spontaneous reversal of positional nystagmus (SRPN) in benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV). Methods: We prospectively recruited 182 patients with posterior canal (PC, n = 119) and horizontal canal (HC) BPPV (n = 63) canalolithiasis. We analyzed the maximal slow phase velocity (maxSPV), duration, and time constant (Tc) of positional nystagmus, and compared the measures between groups with and without SRPN. We also compared the treatment outcome between two groups. Results: The frequency of SRPN in PC- and HC-BPPV was 47 and 68%, respectively. The maxSPVs were greater in BPPV with SRPN than without, larger in HC-BPPV than PC-BPPV (114.3 ± 56.8 vs. 57.1 ± 38.1°/s, p < 0.001). The reversed nystagmus last longer in HC-BPPV than PC-BPPV. The Tc of positional nystagmus got shorter in PC-BPPV with SRPN (3.7 ± 1.8 s) than without SRPN (4.5 ± 2.0 s, p = 0.034), while it was longer during contralesional head turning in HC-BPPV with SRPN (14.8 ± 7.5 s) than that of ipsilesional side (7.3 ±2.8 s, p < 0.001). The treatment response did not significantly differ between groups with and without SRPN in both PC- and HC-BPPV (p = 0.378 and p = 0.737, respectively). Conclusion: The SRPN is common in both PC- and HC-BPPV canalolithiasis. The intensity of rotational stimuli may be a major determinant for the development of short-term central adaptation which utilizes the velocity-storage system below a certain velocity limit. The presence of SRPN is not related to treatment outcome in BPPV.

Project description:BackgroundBenign paroxysmal positional vertigo is the most common disease in which vertigo is the main clinical manifestation, and it has become a global medical problem, affecting a wide range of areas and seriously affecting the quality of human life.ObjectiveThis article presents an analysis of the current characteristics of BPPV-related research and summarizes the current hot topics and trends, with the goal of inspiring future research into the prevention and treatment of BPPV, thereby improving the differential diagnosis and prevention of peripheral vertigo.MethodsA bibliometric approach was used to collect 1,219 eligible studies on BPPV from four databases-PubMed, Embase, Scopus, and Web of Science-published between 1974 and 2022. The characteristics and status of the accumulated scientific output were processed using R and VOSviewer so that we could visualize any trends or hotspots.ResultsThe results showed a significant increase in the annual number of publications, with an average annual growth rate of 21.58%. A possible reason for the especially pronounced peak in 2021 was an increase in the prevalence of BPPV as a result of COVID-19. The new coronavirus became a focus of research in 2021. A total of 3,876 authors (of whom 1,097 were first authors) published articles in 307 different journals; 15.7% of the articles were published in Acta Oto-Larygologica, Otology and Neurotology, and Frontiers in Neurology. Acta Oto-Laryngologica was well ahead of the other journals in terms of growth rate and number of articles published. American scholars generated the largest number of articles overall, and the USA was involved in the greatest number of international collaborations, followed by Italy and China. The themes of the research centered around three topics, namely the treatment of BPPV, its influencing factors, and diagnosis.ConclusionsThere has been a major increase in BPPV-related research over the last 50 years, leading to an increase in related articles and rapid development of the field. Key directions for future research include the improvement of individualized treatment for residual symptoms after initial treatment of BPPV among the elderly; effective control of comorbidities such as osteoporosis; and secondary inner ear disease, such as Ménière's disease.
