Summary: This pilot study developed and tested a computerized video-based tool for assessing visual vertigo in people with persistent postural-perceptual dizziness (PPPD). The study found that the tool can distinguish PPPD subjects from healthy controls and was well-received by all participants.

Summary: This study aimed to characterize the clinical features of PPPD with or without isolated otolith dysfunction using vestibular function tests. The results showed that damage to the otoliths exacerbates dizziness symptoms in patients with PPPD.

Summary: Persistent postural-perceptual dizziness (PPPD) is a vestibular disorder characterized by chronic dizziness, potentially related to decreased local activity and functional connectivity in multimodal vestibular cortical areas. Additionally, patients with PPPD exhibit hypervigilant postural control and visual dependence.

Summary: This study investigated vertigo disorder combined with anxiety and depression in patients with different types of vestibular syndrome. A total of 330 patients were selected and clinical information such as age, gender, and scores of various scales were collected. The results showed that age and gender did not significantly affect vertigo disorder, but anxiety and depression were risk factors for aggravating the disorder.

Summary: Persistent postural-perceptual dizziness (PPPD) is a condition caused by preceding balance disorders. A retrospective chart review was conducted to investigate the association between vestibular function and preceding balance disorders in 55 PPPD patients. The results revealed that PPPD patients with preceding vestibular neuritis showed abnormal caloric responses, while those with preceding benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) had lower rates of abnormal BCV oVEMP. These findings indicate the influence of preceding balance disorders on vestibular function in PPPD.

Summary: The study found that PPPD patients exhibit a time domain sway pattern similar to controls in static balance testing, but with more pronounced spectral changes, including increased low frequency and decreased high frequency power. Dizziness Handicap Inventory score is correlated with frequency fluctuations.

Summary: This study examined the effect of customized vestibular exercise (VE) and optokinetic stimulation (OS) using a virtual reality system on patients with PPPD. The results showed improvements in dizziness, quality of life, and gait function in both the VE group and the VE with OS group, with differences in the visual vertigo analogue scale and the timed up-to-go test.

Summary: PPPD is a newly defined diagnostic syndrome characterized by chronic symptoms of dizziness in pediatric patients. The study found that a high proportion of pediatric patients with PPPD also had diagnoses of other vestibular disorders and anxiety. Treatments such as physical therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and SSRI medication have been shown to be effective in alleviating symptoms in some pediatric patients with PPPD.

Summary: The feasibility study shows promising results for conducting a full-scale trial of cognitive-behavioural therapy-based vestibular rehabilitation for persistent postural perceptual dizziness (PPPD). Both intervention arms demonstrated high rates of recruitment, retention, and acceptability, with small to moderate treatment effects in favor of the INVEST intervention.

Summary: The clinical characteristics of persistent postural-perceptual dizziness (PPPD) vary according to patient age and inducing factors. The middle-aged group has the highest prevalence of emotional disorders and vertigo scores, while the older adults groups have lower rates of emotional disorders and vertigo scores.

Summary: Persistent postural-perceptual dizziness (PPPD) is a chronic vestibular syndrome that can be categorized into three subtypes: visual-dominant, active motion-dominant, and mixed, with visual stimuli being the most common exacerbating factor. Conventional vestibular tests may not accurately distinguish the characteristics of each subtype.

Summary: This study evaluated the effectiveness of virtual reality (VR)-guided, dual-task, trunk balance training using the mediVR KAGURA system for the management of persistent postural-perceptual dizziness (PPPD). The results showed that this training method improved patients' balance ability, anxiety, and symptoms. VR-guided training using mediVR KAGURA is a safe and cost-effective solution for managing PPPD.

Summary: Clinical balance and visual dependence tests can help identify patients with persistent postural-perceptual dizziness (PPPD). PPPD patients are more visually dependent but do not necessarily have worse postural balance compared to non-PPPD patients.

Summary: This study investigated the correlation between serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) level and short-term residual dizziness (RD) severity in patients with benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) after successful repositioning maneuvers. The results showed that there are age and sex differences in serum 25(OH)D levels in BPPV patients, and a decreased 25(OH)D level in early-onset female patients may increase the odds of moderate-to-severe RD 1 week after successful repositioning maneuvers.
