NCT00732797 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 337

Last updated 2022-01-18

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The investigators primary aim is to test whether or not provision of the self-help booklet teaching VR exercises, with up to one hour of telephone support from a vestibular therapist, will be more effective than routine care in reducing symptoms in dizzy patients in primary care. The investigators will also explore the extent to which patients may benefit from the self-help booklet without support. The investigators will determine whether these models of delivery are less costly than routine care of dizzy patients, as they should reduce the number of patients seeking referral to secondary care for unnecessary assessments.
