Overview

Case-control study shows vitamin D deficiency correlates with benign paroxysmal positional vertigo, suggesting treatment benefits.

Key Points

  • To evaluate the relationship between serum vitamin D levels and the occurrence of benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV).
  • Conducted a case-control study comparing vitamin D levels in BPPV patients and matched controls.
  • Collected demographic and health information through interviews and questionnaires.
  • Performed the Epley maneuver on BPPV patients to assess treatment effectiveness.
  • Out of 93 BPPV patients, only 39 (41.9%) had normal vitamin D levels compared to 43 (78.2%) in the control group.
  • Statistically significant difference in vitamin D levels observed between the BPPV and control groups.
  • Indicated that BPPV is more prevalent in those with vitamin D deficiency.
