VRT- Simple solutions for complex dizziness
Vertigo Treatment
"Beyond BETAHISTINE"
The vestibular medications can be crucial in calming the vegetative symptoms caused by the vestibular disorders, none of these medications would address the underlying issues.
Moreover, when taken longterm they interfere with the natural recovery and cause harmful side effects such as PD like syndromes
VRT proved to be very effective and economical compared to the conventional routine therapy
A course of VRT would be much cheaper than the cost of a single brain MRI which can not find the common causes such as BPPV & Vestibular Hypofucntion

Course Description
"Assessment, Diagnosis & Differential Diagnosis and Treatment"
-
√ This course will provide General Practitioners with the most current evidence-based theories and practical demonstration of the assessment, diagnosis and treatment of the most common vestibular conditions such as BPPV, labyrinthitis and vestibular neuritis.
√ Additionally, the course will cover the assessment and diagnosis of the posterior circulation stroke
√ This course covers five unique chapters consisting of anatomy & physiology, clinical features, common vestibular disorders, vestibular assessment and principles of vestibular rehabilitation (EPLEY Manoeuvre) for BPPV
√ A separate session is included at the beginning of the course to give a brief overview of the VRT including the statistics on various aspects of dizziness and VRT.
√ Another key feature of this session is that it introduces several case scenarios to the participants so that they can associate these cases when individual conditions are looked at. In the concluding session, the participants will have an opportunity to revisit these cases and see what were the diagnoses made and the treatments offered for these cases.
√ Finally, the participants can test their knowledge by taking a quiz and get the COURSE COMPLETION CERTIFICATE
√ The participants will have access to the course contents /updates for 12 months
