Patients' Experiences with Management of Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo: Insights from the Vestibular Disorders Association Registry.

Introduction: Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) is the most frequently occurring peripheral vestibular disorder. Clinical practice guidelines (CPG) for BPPV exist; however, little is known about how affected patients perceive their condition is being managed. We aimed to leverage registry data to evaluate how adults who report BPPV are managed.

Regional differences in patient-reported outcomes as a proxy of healthcare practices for Americans living with vestibular symptoms.

Background: Geographical location is known to affect health outcomes; however, evidence regarding whether location affects healthcare for persons suspected to have vestibular dysfunction is lacking.

Objective: To investigate whether location affects healthcare seeking and outcomes for adults with symptoms of vestibular pathology.

Methods: We assessed for regional disparities associated with demographics, diagnosis, chronological factors, and financial expenditures from Americans who participated in the Vestibular Disorders Association registry (N = 905, 57.

A Systematic Review of Clinical Vestibular Symptom Triage, Tools, and Algorithms.

Objective: The evaluation of peripheral vestibular disorders in clinical practice is an especially difficult endeavor, particularly for the inexperienced clinician. The goal of this systematic review is thus to evaluate the design, approaches, and outcomes for clinical vestibular symptom triage and decision support tools reported in contemporary published literature.

Data Sources: A comprehensive search of existing literature in August 2020 was conducted using MEDLINE, CINAHL, and EMBASE using terms of desired diagnostic tools such as and as well as an exhaustive set of terms to encompass vestibular disorders.
