The purpose of this study was to investigated effectiveness of temporamandibular joint and soft tissue mobilization on patients with Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV).
Aim: In this study was aimed to investigated effectiveness of temporamandibular joint and soft tissue mobilization on patients with Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV). Material and Methods; Dix Hallpike maneuver was administered to all patients to confirm the diagnosis at the initial evaluation. If the Dix Hallpike test was positive, Epley maneuver was applied The patients were randomly divided into 2 groups as study group (n=) and control groups (n= ). Temporomandibular joint ve soft tissue techniques were applied 30 minutes once a week for 4 weeks by physiotherapist. Routin medication therapy was applied to control group. Both groups were asked to do the home exercise program twice a day consisting of vestibular exercise videos sent over whatss app. It was questioned with a phone call once a week whether the exercises were done or not. Patients were evaluated by Dizziness Disability Inventory (DHI) , Dizziness Assessment- Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), Vertigo Symptom Scale-Short Form (VSS) , Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI) , Vertigo Dizziness Imbalance Questionnaire (VDI) , Tinnitus Disability Scale (TDS), Romberg Posture Test , Tandem Posture Test, Semitandem Tandem Balance Test, Fonseca's Anamnestic Index (FAI) and amount of mouth opening was measured with goniometer before and after treatment.
609 studies on the registry are indexed under Temporomandibular Joint Disorders; 160 are open to participants now.
This study's enrollment of 41 is below the median of 46 across 434 interventional studies indexed under Temporomandibular Joint Disorders.

Exclusion Criteria:
Study Group (n= 20) was recieved Temporomandibular joint ve soft tissue techniques. The techniques were applied 30 minutes once a week for 4 weeks by physiotherapist to the study group.
Behavioral: Study Group
Control group (n=20) was received routin medication therapy was applied. Both groups were asked to do the home exercise program twice a day consisting of vestibular exercise videos sent over whatss app. It was questioned with a phone call once a week whether the exercises were done or not.
Other: Control Group
Study Group (n= 20) was recieved Temporomandibular joint ve soft tissue techniques. The techniques were applied 30 minutes once a week for 4 weeks by physiotherapist to the study group.
Routin medication therapy was applied to the control group. Both groups were asked to do the home exercise program twice a day consisting of vestibular exercise videos sent over whatss app. It was questioned with a phone call once a week whether the exercises were done or not.
Dizzness Severity
dizziness severity was determined by Visual Analog Scale (VAS). The patient is asked to evaluate between 0 and 10 points. A score of "0" means no dizziness, a score of "1-4" means mild dizziness, a score of "4-8" means moderate dizziness, and a score of "10" means unbearable dizziness
Time frame: Baseline - end of the treatment after 4 weeks session
Vertigo Symptom Scale- Shor Form
It is a 15-item scale that evaluates dizziness, feeling of imbalance, accompanying autonomic disorders and anxiety symptoms in the last 1 month.Each question has values between 0-4 points. The scores of all items will be added together and the total score will be between 0-60 points. High scores indicate serious problems. A total score of 12 points or more indicates a symptom of vertigo. It has 8 items related to vertigo and has a score between 0-32 points, it has 7 items that includes autonomic complaints and has a score of 0-28.
Time frame: Baseline - end of the treatment after 4 weeks session
Beck Anxiety Inventory
It were used for to evaluate of anxiety level because of the vertigo. It consists of 21 questions in total. 0 points: none, 1. point: mild 2. points: intermediate, 3. points: seriously scored. It was classified as mild anxiety symptoms between 8-15 points, moderate anxiety symptoms between 16-25 points, and severe anxiety symptoms between 26-63 points.
Time frame: Baseline - end of the treatment after 4 weeks session
Vertigo Dizziness Imbalance Questionnaire (VDI)
The Vertigo-Dizziness-Imbalance Questionnaire is a scale that evaluates the quality of the daily living activities of the problems that patients experience with vertigo and dizzines.Each question has a point value of "4" points if yes, "0" points if no, and sometimes "2" points. In the scoring, 28 points are the limit points for determining physical disability, 36 points for functional and sensory disability.
Time frame: Baseline - end of the treatment after 4 weeks session
Tinnitus Disability Scale
The Tinnitus Disability Scale (TDS) was used for the presence and level of balance tinnitus due to vertigo.TDS has 25 questions. The scoring of the answers is "4", "0" and "2" respectively. The lowest score that can be obtained from the scale is 0 and the highest score is 100.
Time frame: Baseline - end of the treatment after 4 weeks session
Balance Asssesment
Balance problems due to vertigo were determined by romberg test, tandem and semitandem tests. Romberg Test:In peripheral vestibular pathologies, the direction of the fall is in that direction. For the Tandem and Semitandem tests,It is asked to try to hold the position for 30 seconds with your open eyes closed. The time it can stand is recorded in seconds
Time frame: Baseline - end of the treatment after 4 weeks session
The presence of Temporomandibular Joint Disorders
The presence and level of temporomandibular dysfunction was determined by Fonseca's Anamnestic Index (FAI). FAI is a questionnaire consisting of 10 questions and 3 choices. The answers are "yes" (10 points), "sometimes" (5 points), and "no" (0 points). Scoring TMD No signs or symptoms (0-15 points), mild TMD (20-45 points), moderate TMD (50-65 points), and severe TMD (70-100 points)
Time frame: Baseline - end of the treatment after 4 weeks session
Mouth opening
amount of mouth opening was measured with goniometer before and after treatment.
Time frame: Baseline - end of the treatment after 4 weeks session
