TY - JOUR T1 - Comparison of Fatigue Severity in Individuals with Vestibular Hypofunction TT - Vestibüler Hipofonksiyonu Olan Bireylerde Yorgunluk Şiddetlerinin Karşılaştırılması AU - Sever, Ebru AU - Kılıç, Gamze AU - Ertunç Gülçelik, Gönül AU - Aktürk, Adem PY - 2025 DA - April Y2 - 2025 DO - 10.38079/igusabder.1570183 JF - İstanbul Gelişim Üniversitesi Sağlık Bilimleri Dergisi JO - IGUSABDER PB - İstanbul Gelişim Üniversitesi WT - DergiPark SN - 2536-4499 SP - 102 EP - 109 IS - 25 LA - en AB - Aim: The aim is to compare fatigue severity in patients with unilateral and bilateral vestibular hypofunction.Method: Patients with complaints of dizziness and balance were included in the study. The degree and direction of hypofunction of the patients were determined with videonystagmography test. Numerical Pain Scale was used to evaluate fatigue severity. Fatigue severity in patients with unilateral and bilateral vestibular hypofunction (VH) was compared.Results: 100 patients with a mean age of 49.25±14.67 years were included in the study. It was observed that 37% of these patients had Right VH, 30% had Left VH and 33% had Bilateral VH. According to the hypofunction table, the fatigue severity of the groups was 6.57±1.96 in Right VH, 6.79±1.34 in Left VH and 7.51±1.44 in Bilateral VH. When fatigue severity was compared between the groups, no statistical superiority was found (p≥0.05).Conclusion: There is no difference between the fatigue levels in Unilateral and Bilateral VH patients.

Hastaların hipofonksiyonunun derecesi ve yönü videonistagmografi testi ile belirlendi. Yorgunluk şiddetini değerlendirmek için Sayısal Ağrı Skalası kullanıldı. Unilateral ve bilateral vestibüler hipofonksiyonu olan hastalarda yorgunluk şiddeti karşılaştırıldı.Bulgular: Çalışmaya yaş ortalaması 49,25±14,67 yıl olan 100 hasta dahil edildi. Bu hastaların %37'sinin Sağ VH, %30'unun Sol VH ve %33'ünün Bilateral VH olduğu görüldü. Hipofonksiyon tablosuna göre grupların yorgunluk şiddeti Sağ VH'de 6,57±1,96, Sol VH'de 6,79±1,34 ve Bilateral VH'de 7,51±1,44 idi. Gruplar arasında yorgunluk şiddeti karşılaştırıldığında istatistiksel olarak üstünlük bulunmamıştır (p≥0,05).Sonuç: Unilateral ve bilateral VH hastalarında yorgunluk seviyeleri arasında fark yoktur.
