Literature review of questionnaires assessing vertigo and dizziness, and their impact on patients' quality of life
- Abstract:
- Objectives: Vertigo and dizziness, which are major symptoms of diseases affecting the vestibular system, drastically impair patients' health-related quality of life (QoL). Patient's perspectives are thus essential to symptom assessment. We sought to make a critical review of published questionnaires measuring vertigo or dizziness, and/or their impact on QoL.
