Abstract

The purpose of the study was to compare the effectiveness of non-drug treatment methods (vestibular rehabilitation, ketogenic diet) for leveling vestibular dysfunction in elderly patients with vestibular migraine. The study included elderly patients with vestibular migraine. In the first group (28 patients), vestibular gymnastics was used to correct vestibular dysfunction, in the second group (28 patients), a ketogenic diet served as a non-pharmacological method of exposure and a control group (28 patients) who did not receive non-drug correction measures. The study showed that vestibular gymnastics for the correction of vestibular dysfunction is comparable in effectiveness with a ketogenic diet in elderly patients with vestibular migraine.
