Abstract

Objective: This study was designed to compare the effectiveness of IV and oral forms of piracetam in patients suffering from vertigo. Material and Methods: 47 patients were included in this study who had suffered from vertigo for at least 3 months and had experienced vertigo at least 3 episodes per month. 23 patients were given piracetam 3000 mg 4 times daily intravenously for 10 days, and 24 patients were given piracetam 800mg 3 times daily orally for 8 weeks. Frequency of episodes, severity of vertigo, severity of nausea and vomiting, severity of malaise, severity of imbalance, changes in daily capacity, effect of vertigo on walking were measured both in oral given group, before the treatment and during the 4., 6. and 8. weeks of treatment, and in IV given group, before and after the treatment, by visual analog scala (VAS). Result: We found that in both groups, piracetam provides statistically significant relief in symptoms, but the results are better in the group treated by oral piracetam. In orally treated group decrease in all parameters according to usage period are also demonstrated by graphics. Conclusion: Though piracetam usage in chronic vertigo is useful both in IV and per oral administrations, the results are better and more permanent in oral administration.

Özet

Amaç: Bu çalışma vertigo yakınması olan hastalarda IV ve oral pirasetam kullanımını karşılaştırmak için yapılmıştır. Gereç ve Yöntem: Çalışmaya 3 ay boyunca ayda en az 3 kez baş dönmesi atağı geçiren 47 hasta alınmıştır. 24 hastaya 2 ay süreyle günde 3x800 mg oral tablet, 23 hastaya ise 10 gün süreyle hospitalize edilerek 4x3000 mg IV pirasetam tedavisi verilmiştir. Parametre olarak episod sayısı, baş dönmesi şiddeti, bulantı-kusma şiddeti, halsizlik, dengesizlik hissi, kapasite değişiklikleri ve yürüme üzerine etkiler seçilmiştir. Oral tedavi alan grupta tedavi öncesi ve tedavi sonrası 4., 6. ve 8. haftalarda IV tedavi alan grupta ise tedavi öncesi ve tedavi sonrası değerler visual analog skala (VAS) ile derecelendirilmiştir. Bulgular: Her iki grupta tedavi sonrası semptomlarda istatistiksel olarak anlamlı düşme elde edildi. Fakat oral tedavi alan grupta IV tedavi alan gruba göre istatistiksel olarak daha fazla oranda düşüş görüldü (p<0.05). Oral tedavi alan grupta tüm parametrelerin zamana göre düşüşleri grafiklerle de gösterilmiştir. Sonuç: Kronik vertigolu hastalarda pirasetam kullanımı hem oral olarak hem de intravenöz olarak verildiğinde etkili olmakla birlikte oral kullanımda intravenöze göre daha iyi ve kalıcı sonuçlar alınmıştır.
