Article Synopsis
- Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) causes recurring episodes of vertigo, and despite initial symptom resolution, many patients experience relapses and other complications such as migraines, neck pain, and falls after discharge.
- This study observed 124 patients with BPPV and found that 70.97% of them reported new symptoms post-treatment, with prior neck pain, headaches, and migraines being significant predictors for future issues.
- Key findings highlight that low vitamin D levels may increase recurrence risk, and the relationship between anxiety and persistent postural-perceptual dizziness (PPPD) suggests that BPPV is often accompanied by lingering symptoms despite the absence of nystagmus.
Introduction: Patients with episodic vestibular syndrome (EVS) whose symptoms resemble those of vestibular migraine (VM) but who do not meet the criteria for it are common.
Objective: To describe those patients suffering from EVS in whom defined etiologies have been ruled out in order to determine if their symptoms can be linked to VM.
Material And Methods: Prospective multicenter study.
Incidence of unilateral and bilateral benign paroxysmal positional vertigo when the left and right Dix-Hallpike manoeuvres are positive: a model based on the sense of torsional nystagmus.

Introduction: Subjective benign paroxysmal positional vertigo is a form of benign paroxysmal positional vertigo in which during the diagnostic positional maneuvers patients only present vertigo symptoms with no nystagmus.
Objective: To study the characteristics of subjects with subjective benign paroxysmal positional vertigo.
Methods: Prospective multicenter case-control study.
Purpose: Computerized posturography is the gold standard for balance assessment. Because of the great cost and dimensions of commercial equipments, low-cost and portable devices have been developed and validated, such as RombergLab, a software in open source term which works connected with a low-cost force platform. The objective of this study was to obtain normative posturography data using this software.
