Description

It is a broad term for dizziness, proprioceptive dysfunction, disequilibrium, or instability caused by a variety of neurological, inner ear, vascular, biochemical, psychiatric, and inner ear pathologies. Dizziness accounts for 2%-5% of primary care physician visits. Dizziness is more common with age, with 20% to 30% of elderly patients experiencing dizziness. Dizziness patients are more likely to fall and suffer injuries, especially the elderly. Dizziness is also an independent risk factor for non-osteoporotic fractures: Dizziness increases the risk of non-osteoporotic fractures by 31%. Patients who experience dizziness not only fall more often, but are also less independent due to difficulties with daily activities, impaired psychological well-being, social impairment, and impairment in work related activities such as absenteeism and socioeconomic losses. Because vertigo has multiple causes, clinicians should rule out potentially treatable causes to reduce the risk of falls, physical disability, and psychosocial complications. When used to treat vertigo, the goal of Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment (OMT) is to normalize the disturbed structure-function relationships or homeostatic mechanisms that contribute to the underlying condition. OMT is believed to promote better balance and mobility by reducing somatic dysfunction, improving regional lymphatic drainage, and increasing muscle flexibility and joint range of motion. Additionally, some OMT techniques, such as cranial head manipulation and balanced ligament tension, as well as high-velocity, low-amplitude manipulation of the cervical, thoracic, lumbar, and sacral spine segments, affect the vestibular system, proprioception, and postural balance. As a result, OMT can help with vertigo caused by neurootological disorders such as concussions. Previous Randomized Controlled Trials (RCTs) and observational studies investigating the efficacy of OMT in the treatment of vertigo caused by neuro-otological disorders have had significant limitations, including lack of statistical power or short followup time to determine the optimal duration of OMT for prevention. Proprioceptive dysfunction and falling. In addition, previous research has primarily focused on a specific OMT technique or a specific neuro-otological disorder, limiting scope and generalizability. The most interesting findings of the current study are the complete change in metabolic and movement behavior when assessed in the daily life of patients with chronic UVH. On the one hand, BIA measurements revealed that UVH patients had a significantly lower REE level compared to CG participants. A systematic review looked at how OMT affects postural balance, which is a combination of muscle balance, proprioception and vestibular sensory information. Despite the fact that they concluded that OMT is effective in the treatment of postural imbalance, the methods were not explicitly stated and the quality of the evidence was not assessed. Given the limitations of the existing literature, there is a need for high-quality systematic reviews with pooled estimates evaluating the effectiveness of OMT in the treatment of vertigo caused by neuro-otological disorders. The aim of the current protocol is to describe a detailed method for conducting a systematic review and meta-analysis to determine the effectiveness of OMT on benefit outcomes such as change in dizziness, frequency of falls, quality of life, disability and return to work. As well as harm outcomes such as ineffectiveness dropouts, adverse effects and all-cause dropout rates in neuro-otological disorders. We will assess the quality of evidence in the joint analysis using the grade tool.
