An interventional study of Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment (OMT) and Vestibular Rehabilitation Therapy (VRT) in Vertigo, Dizziness and Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo, sponsored by Western University of Health Sciences. Completed at 1 site in United States. Open to participants aged 18 Years to 79 Years, including healthy volunteers. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2015-06-10.

Western University of Health Sciences is seeking men and women to participate in a study on the effectiveness of Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment (OMT) and Vestibular Rehabilitation Therapy (VRT) in patients with vertigo. The purpose of this study is to examine the efficacy of OMT in the treatment of individuals with vertigo, alone and in combination with Vestibular Rehabilitation Therapy (VRT). Because of the health care costs associated with vertigo, the cost effectiveness of OMT and VRT will also be examined.
75 studies on the registry are indexed under Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo; 15 are open to participants now.
This study's enrollment of 26 is below the median of 78 across 62 interventional studies indexed under Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo.

Exclusion Criteria:
Participants will receive Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment (OMT) with the objective of treating diagnosed somatic dysfunction and this will entail the use of specific indirect and direct techniques, including soft tissue, inhibitory, myofascial release, articulatory and high-velocity / low-amplitude (HVLA) techniques.
Other: Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment (OMT)
Participants will receive Vestibular Rehabilitation Therapy (VRT), which includes balance exercises in sitting and standing positions that include gaze stabilization, kinesthetic and proprioceptive retraining.
Other: Vestibular Rehabilitation Therapy (VRT)
Participants will receive both Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment (OMT) and Vestibular Rehabilitation Therapy (VRT).
Other: Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment (OMT) · Other: Vestibular Rehabilitation Therapy (VRT)
Direct action OMT procedures, including HVLA, involve the application of a force in the direction of restricted joint motion in order to resolve somatic dysfunction. Indirect techniques, including counterstrain, balanced ligamentous tension and myofascial release, entail applying a force away from the restrictive barrier of a joint or soft tissue structure.
Also known as: Osteopathic Manipulative Medicine (OMM)
Participants categorized as having a peripheral motion hypersensitivity will receive habituation exercises that reproduce the provocative motion, seated and standing balance exercises with gaze stabilization, kinesthetic and proprioceptive retraining. Participants will be given a monthly exercise log at onset and will be asked to report exercise levels at subsequent follow up periods.

Change from Baseline in Computerized Dynamic Posturography (CDP) at 1 week
Computerized dynamic posturography (CDP), also called test of balance (TOB), is a non-invasive specialized clinical assessment technique used to quantify the central nervous system adaptive mechanisms (sensory, motor and central) involved in the control of posture and balance, both in normal (such as in physical education and sports training) and abnormal conditions (particularly in the diagnosis of balance disorders and in physical therapy and postural re-education).
