The objective of the present study was to estimate the influence of
tanakan on the duration of the period needed to achieve vestibular compensation in the patients presenting with peripheral vestibular
dizziness in the course of vestibular rehabilitation with the use of the post-urographic system. 72 patients at the age varying from 18 to 42 years (46 women and 26 men) suffering from peripheral vestibular
dizziness were treated on an individual basis for the purpose of vestibular rehabilitation 3-5 times per week for a total period of 3-6 weeks. 42 of the 72 patients comprising group 1 were given
Tanakan for 3 months at a dose of 40 mg thrice daily, the remaining 30 patients (group 2) continued to receive the vasoactive treatment as prescribed by attending physicians of other medical and diagnostic centres (protocols of their treatment recommended at local medical facilities did not include
tanakan therapy). It is concluded that the use of
tanakan for the treatment of the patients presenting with peripheral vestibular
dizziness accelerates vestibular compensation and reduces the time necessary to achieve vestibular rehabilitation. Moreover, the combined treatment with the application of
tanakan makes it possible to decrease the medicamental loading.
