Abstract

Vertigo is a vestibular system disorder characterized by a spinning sensation, nausea, vomiting, and balance disturbances that can impair daily activities. Management of vertigo involves not only pharmacological approaches but also non-pharmacological therapies, such as the Brandt-Daroff Exercise, which aims to facilitate vestibular system adaptation and reduce symptoms. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of implementing the Brandt-Daroff Exercise in reducing vertigo intensity among patients at RSUD Kartini Karanganyar Hospital. A case study involving two vertigo patients admitted to Bangsal Cempaka 3 and Mawar 1 wards at RSUD Kartini Karanganyar Hospital. Vertigo intensity was measured using the Visual Vertigo Analogue Scale (VVAS). The Brandt-Daroff Exercise intervention was administered for three days, twice daily, following standard procedures. The study results showed that both patients had severe vertigo (high VVAS scores) before the intervention. After three days of exercises, VVAS scores decreased gradually and consistently, reaching the mild category. The Brandt-Daroff Exercise is effective as a non-pharmacological intervention for reducing vertigo intensity.
