Abstrakt: Objectives: The objectives of this study were to evaluate the role of oxidative stress in benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) by measuring urinary 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG), 8-hydroxy-guanosine (8-OHG), and 8-hydroxy-guanine levels.
Methods: Thirty-one adult female patients diagnosed with BPPV were included in this study. Patients with central pathologies and other peripheral causes of vertigo were excluded from the study. The patients were evaluated for oxidative stress during and after the BPPV attack with blood samples and spot urine tests. Depression, anxiety, and stress scale (DASS) questionnaire was used to evaluate emotional stress. A control group consisting of 30 age-matched healthy women was formed.
Results: Urinary oxidative stress values during the attack were significantly higher than the post-treatment group and the healthy control group (p<0.05). There was no significant difference between the urinary oxidative stress values of the BPPV group after treatment and the healthy control group (p>0.05). DASS scores were significantly higher during the attack and after the treatment compared to the healthy control group (p<0.05).
Conclusion: The increase in spot urinary 8-OHdG, 8-OHG, and 8-hydroxy-guanine levels can be used as a biomarker for oxidative stress in patients with BPPV. Furthermore, emotional stress can also trigger BPPV attacks by increasing oxidative stress.
