Intervention / Comparator Agent  
Type  Name  Details 
Intervention  Individualized Homoeopathic Medicine  The intervention involves the administration of individualized homoeopathic remedy in 30th potency, to individuals suffering from benign paroxysmal positional vertigo; one dose as per requirement of the case. The treatment aims to reduce the frequency and intensity of vertiginous symptoms, as measured by the VSS-SF(Vertigo Symptom Scale Short form). The remedy will be administered in oral pellet form, with the patient dissolving the pellets under the tongue. The dosage regimen may involve taking a single dose or repeated doses depending on the severity and clinical judgment. The precise dosage and frequency will be determined on an individual basis.

Brief Summary   Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV) is a common peripheral vestibular disorder causing brief episodes of positional vertigo that significantly affect daily functioning and quality of life. Conventional treatment such as Epley’s maneuver and vestibular suppressant drugs offers symptomatic relief but may not be suitable for all patients and may not prevent recurrences. This prospective interventional study aims to assess the efficacy of individualized Homoeopathic medicines in managing subjective and idiopathic BPPV among individuals aged 40–70 years. A total of 52 participants with positive Dix–Hallpike Test findings and elevated Vertigo Symptom Scale–Short Form (VSS-SF) scores will receive individualized Homoeopathic treatment based on totality of symptoms. Severity of vertigo will be evaluated using VSS-SF before and after intervention during monthly follow-ups for six months. The primary outcome will be the reduction in VSS-SF scores, indicating improvement in vertigo symptoms. The study intends to determine whether individualized Homoeopathic medicines can provide effective, safe, and holistic management of BPPV and improve overall symptom burden.
