  • Title: Why do subjective vertigo and dizziness persist over one year after a vestibular vertigo syndrome?
    Author: Best C, Eckhardt-Henn A, Tschan R, Dieterich M.
    Journal: Ann N Y Acad Sci; 2009 May; 1164():334-7. PubMed ID: 19645922.
    Abstract:
    The overlap and interlinkage of dizzy symptoms in patients with psychiatric and vestibular vertigo/dizziness disorders is the subject of an ongoing debate. In a one-year follow up in 68 patients with vestibular vertigo syndromes, the persistency of vertigo and dizziness symptoms was examined and correlated with vestibular parameters and results from a psychiatric evaluation. Patients with vestibular migraine showed poorest improvement of vertigo and dizziness symptoms over time. In addition, patients who developed anxiety or depressive disorder after the onset of the vestibular disorder showed poor improvement and high persistency of symptoms.
