The relationship between psychological conditions and recurrence of benign paroxysmal positional vertigo: a retrospective cohort study.

Background: Psychological conditions have been found to be associated with an increased risk of incident benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV). However, much less is known on whether and how psychological conditions such as anxiety, insomnia and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) affect the recurrence of BPPV.

Methods: A retrospective cohort study of 2,612 outpatients and inpatients diagnosed with BPPV between September 2012 and August 2020.
