Web-based Rehab After Acute Vertigo

Summary

Acute onset vertigo is common and entails much suffering with persisting symptoms at 3 months after onset in up to half of those afflicted. Vestibular rehabilitation to aid recovery is not readily available. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects on vertigo symptoms of a 6-week online vestibular rehabilitation tool compared with standard care (written instructions leaflet) after acute onset vertigo.
