Treatment of vertigo with betaserk in patients with vascular and traumatic cerebral injuries

: 42 patients with discirculatory and posttraumatic encephalopathy were treated with betaserk. Ultrasonic dopplerography and acoustic evoked potentials were used for assessment of the treatment results. It was established that betaserk was quite effective both for arrest of acute vertigo attacks and for prophylaxis of vertigo relapses. A decrease in frequency of vertigo attacks (by 60%, on the average) as well as in their duration and intensity were accompanied by an increase in blood flow through the arteries of vertebro-basilar system and by normalization of the parameters of acoustic evoked potentials.
