Current therapies of Vertigo were presented on the basis of litteratures which had been published for recent 10 years and of the author's self experience in his neurotological clinic. It is the most important that the original disease which caused vertigo or dizziness, must be treated in the patient. Conservative treatment is also necessary, however, for the patient, who is suffering from a severe attack of vertigo, nausea and vomiting in acute stage.
The patient needs absolute rest and adequate medications of drug for vertigo, antiemetica, sedativa and so on. It is indispensable to differenciate, whether, the origin of the disease is peripheral or central, because some of the later may have worse prognosis for the patient's life, for example, some of vertebro-basilar artery insufficiency, brain hemorrhage and etc.
The neurotological examination should be carried to identify the origin of vertigo during attack, if it does not disturb the patient's condition. Several medications, stellate ganglion block, surgical treatment or ultrasonic treatment for vertigenous patients are also recommended in adequte cases.
