Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders. Keywords: Dizziness, Fatigue, Anxiety, Dizziness handicap inventory, BPPVĪnxiety disorders. Our preliminary data indicate the need to further investigate fatigue as a cause of dizziness. Fatigue severity correlated with insomnia severity, consistent with fatigue as a manifestation of insufficient sleep.Ĭonclusions: From these findings, we infer that fatigue was the cause of dizziness in the majority of patients in the AUD group and that anxiety in these patients may be secondary to dizziness. Fatigue and anxiety were strong predictors of the dizziness score. More than half of the patients in the AUD group experienced fatigue. Results: The AUD group reported higher levels of fatigue and anxiety than the BPPV group. For comparison, we administered the same scales to 52 patients with benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV group). Methods: We used scales to estimate the severity of dizziness, fatigue, sleep quality, anxiety, and depression. Objective: To verify whether fatigue is related with dizziness, we examined 72 patients between 20 and 65 years old who had new onset of daily dizziness for less than one month and in whom known causes of dizziness were excluded after extensive evaluation (acute unexplained dizziness group). Moreover, the patients with BPPV who had the positive values of items 7 and 23 may provide physicians with clue to look for HCB.FRONTIERS IN MEDICAL CASE REPORTS - Volume 1 Issue 5, (Sep-Oct, 2020)īyung In Han, Pan-Woo Ko, Hyun Ah Kim, Sung-Pa Park, Ho-Won Lee Significant difference with p-value <0.001 was the combination of item 7 and 23.Ĭonclusion: The DHI scores of BPPV were higher for HCB than PCB. Significant difference in the items with p-value <0.01 were item 7 (function, difficulty reading) and 23 (emotion, depression). The p-values of the differences in the average functional items, emotional items, and physical items between both groups were 0.028, 0.061, and 0.026, respectively. The average DHI scores for PCB and HCB were 38.91☒2.21 and 48.12☑9.55 (p-value 0.022), respectively. Results: Sixty-four patients had PCB, 50 had HCB during the study period between April 2015 and March 2017.

All cases were treated with proper maneuver and followed-up until satisfactory clinical improvements and absence of positional induced nystagmus. All the patients completed DHI forms at their first visit prior to consultation and at the last visit. The subjects were patients diagnosed with PCB or HCB using the Dix-Hallpike test and the supine roll test. The setting was a tertiary otolaryngology practice. Materials and Methods: A prospective cross-sectional study, the study subjects were patients presented at the otolaryngological clinic at HRH Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn Medical Center, Srinakharinwirot University, Thailand. Objective: To identify the Dizziness Handicap Inventory scores and items that can be differentiated in benign paroxysmal positional vertigo patients between posterior canal BPPV and horizontal canal BPPV.
