Epley Omniax featured in Special Report for ENT Today
The Epley OmniaxTM was
featured as a recommended technology for referral clinics in
a special report: Vestibular Testing Modalities Enter the
Digital Age. The technology was listed in a table for
tests that can be performed in referral clinics. A
picture of the Epley OmniaxTM featured prominently in the story
as well as a graphic depiction of an Epley Maneuver,
considered the standard of care for BPPV, the most common
form of vestibular disorder.
Also featured in the report were Dr. John Epley, a co-founder
of Vesticon and practicing neurotologist, and Dr. James
Soileau, a clinical investigator for the Epley
OmniaxTM.
Excerpt - Dizzy patients are among the most
challenging, time-consuming cases that are seen in
otolaryngologists' offices. The cause of the vertigo is often
difficult to establish, and effective treatment is often
elusive. Therefore, it can be helpful to know which
vestibular tests can be effectively conducted in the general
otolaryngology clinic and which ones are typically performed
in a referral clinic specializing in balance disorders.
