Effect of yunfujing on the vestibular system.
Yunfujing is a traditional chinese drug which in earlier studies has been shown to reduce vestibular signs in man on a rotatory chair with coriolis accelerate stimulation. Recently 131 patients were studied including all kinds of peripheral vestibular disturbances. Eighty-nine cases were treated with yunfujing and 42 controls were given armillaria mellea vabi which has the same effect as diphenidol. We found that yunfujing has the same effect as armillaria mellea vabi or diphenidol: the symptoms were reduced in a few days.
