title: [Betaserc treatment of psychogenic vertigo].
abstract: An effect of betaserc on the character and intensity of vertigo (V), psycho-autonomic state of patients, vestibular functions and oculomotor system, using computer stimulating programs, has been studied in 39 patients with V. After 4 weeks of the treatment, betaserc exerted a positive effect on patients; however, the optimal effect was shown in patients with psychogenic V (73%). In this group, betaserc reduced both V and other psycho-autonomic disturbances. After betaserc treatment, patients with psychogenic V demonstrated a normalization of the vestibular responsiveness parameters in 70% of the cases and of the parameters of spontaneous oculomotor activity and pursuit eye function in 40 to 90%.
