Vestibular Rehabilitation Therapy (VRT) aims at teaching the brain to use other senses such as vision and somatosensory to compensate for vestibular damage or hypofunction to alleviate vertigo or dizziness. This therapy includes various exercises such as adaptation, habituation, sensory substitution, balance and gait training. Objectives: To assess the strength and quality of evidence regarding the effectiveness of using VRT in treating adults with central vertigo. Methods: The following five electronic databases were searched from inception to November 2018: PEDro, PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science and Cochrane for relevant Randomized Controlled Trials (RCT). Further, manual search of bibliography and snowballing were done on eligible studies from the electronic search. Quality assessment of all eligible studies was done using the PEDro scale. The Primary outcomes were dizziness, vertigo and balance. Secondary outcomes were quality of life or any other functional outcomes UR - http://172.23.153.220/th.pdf ER -
