No results posted yet for this study

Summary

This project is aimed at patients with dizziness believed to be due to conditions in the balance organ in the inner ear (vestibular diseases). Dizziness can be bothersome and influence postural control negatively, and can cause secondary musculoskeletal disorders. Dizziness can also result in reduced work capacity. The purpose of the project is to strengthen the knowledge base regarding symptom burden, prognosis and treatment of prolonged dizziness. The hypothesis is that musculoskeletal pain at baseline is a prognostic factor for prolonged dizziness.
