Vestibular Neuritis and Labyrinthitis How is Vestibular Neuritis and Labyrinthitis Treated? Acutely, vestibular neuritis is treated symptomatically, meaning that medications are given for nausea (anti-emetics) and to reduce dizziness (vestibular suppressants). Typical medications used are Antivert (meclizine), Ativan (lorazepam) , Phenergan, Compazine, and Valium (diazepam) .

Labyrinthitis and Vestibular Neuritis Vestibular neuritis and labyrinthitis are disorders resulting from an infection that inflames the inner ear or the nerves connecting the inner ear to the brain. This inflammation disrupts the transmission of sensory information from the ear to the brain. Vertigo, dizziness, and difficulties with balance, vision, or hearing may result. Infections of the inner ear are usually viral; less commonly, the cause is bacterial.

5% Lidocaine Ointment in the Treatment of Vulvar Vestibulitis 1 Study Hypothesis: Use of 5% topical lidocaine ointment will result in improved ability to have sexual intercourse and decreased pain scores in women with vestibulitis when compared to placebo.  This is a study to assess if topical lidocaine will improve symptoms in women with vulvar vestibulitis. It compares use of nightly 5% topical lidocaine ointment to placebo ointment. The duration of the study is 8 weeks. 28 women will be in each arm for a total of 56 women in the study.

- Detailed Description: Vestibular neuronitis is the second most common cause of peripheral vestibulopathy (the first being benign paroxysmal positional vertigo) with incidence of about 3.5/100000. Currently vestibular neuronitis is explained by a viral pathogenesis. Vestibular neuronitis is considered to have a benign course.

Bilateral Vestibulopathy About 1% of all dizziness in the author's practice is due to bilateral vestibulopathy. Click here for a more detailed discussion. In many instances, bilateral vestibulopathy is due to exposure to an ototoxic medication (about 50%). Gentamicin is an antibiotic medication and gentamicin toxicity is the most common single known cause of bilateral vestibulopathy, accounting for 15-50% of all cases.

- Treatment of neuromyelitis optica usually occurs with methylprednisone and an immunosuppressive drug (azathioprine). Plasmapheresis (plasma exchange) has also been used but there is no cure for this disease. Unfortunately, neuromyelitis optica patients have an unpredictable and relapsing course of disease. Damage and disability is slowly cumulative due to recurrent attacks that damage new areas of myelin.

Treatment of Vertigo Vestibular suppressants and benzodiazepines most frequently are used to treat dizziness that is associated with anxiety disorder, but these medications provide only transient or inadequate relief.34 SSRIs such as citalopram (Celexa), fluoxetine (Prozac), paroxetine (Paxil), and sertraline (Zoloft) may provide better relief.

Treatment of Vertigo Vertigo results from acute unilateral vestibular lesions that can be peripheral (labyrinth or vestibular nerve) or central (brainstem or cerebellum). In contrast, tumors and ototoxic medications produce slowly progressive unilateral or bilateral lesions.

Medication Treatment is dictated by the patient’s diagnosis. The use of medication for the treatment of vestibular disorders may be directed to treat the etiology, control the symptoms, accelerate central compensation or diminish the psychological comorbidity that often accompanies the syndrome (Table 3).

Alzheimer Disease Treatment & Management Approach Considerations. To date, only symptomatic therapies for Alzheimer disease (AD) are available. All drugs approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of AD modulate neurotransmitters, either acetylcholine or glutamate. The standard medical treatment for AD includes cholinesterase inhibitors (ChEIs) and a partial N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) antagonist.

Types of Vestibular Disorders Labyrinthitis and Vestibular Neuritis. Labyrinthitis and vestibular neuritis are disorders resulting from an infection that inflames the inner ear or the vestibulo-cochlear nerve (the eighth cranial nerve), which connects the inner ear to the brain.PPV is a common vestibular disorder that causes vertigo, dizziness, and other symptoms due to debris that has collected within a part of the inner ear. This debris, called otoconia, is made up of small crystals of calcium carbonate (sometimes referred to informally as “ear rocks”).

Vestibular Neuritis and Viral Labyrinthitis Vestibular Neuritis and Viral Labyrinthitis. Vestibular neuritis, inflammation of the balance nerve, is the second or third most common cause of peripheral vestibular vertigo with benign paroxysmal positioning vertigo thought to be the most common.4] Vestibular neuritis is also described as acute viral vertigo, acute vestibular neuronitis, or chronic or recurring viral vestibular neuritis. These terms, however, are not completely synonymous. Each has its own features which do overlap and have the common thread of viral inflammation of the vestibular nerve.

Ototoxic Medications Macrolides and other antibiotics that are only slightly ototoxic: Azithromycin, is a macrolide -- and not in the same family as Gentamicin. Nevertheless, there are occasional reports of ototoxicity, when there have been prolonged and high levels.omment: While reportedly ototoxic, chemotherapeutic medications are rarely encountered as a source of vestibular dysfunction. Cisplatin is the most widely used anticancer drug currently and unfortunately, it is cochleotoxic, and may injure supporting cells (Ramirez-Camacho et al, 2004).
