Internet-based Vestibular Rehabilitation Versus Standard Care After Acute Onset Vertigo
https://doi.org/10.71540/jvqj-vp44
RCT with n=183 study participants randomized to vestibular rehabilitation via the internet (app) or written instructions. Follow-ups beyond baseline were conducted at 3 weeks, 6 weeks, 3 months, and 12 months. The material contains data on balance, well-being, quality of life, walking ability and vestibulo-occular reflex. The aim of the study is to evaluate whether web-based vestibular rehabilitation (intervention) is more effective than written instructions (control group) after acute dizziness.
