Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Dizziness and vertigo are one of the most common symptoms in medicine. The lifetime prevalence of vertigo in the general population in the world is high, ranging from 13–30%. The prevalence increases significantly with age, and the frequency is two to three times higher in women than in men. Vertigo is becoming a significant public health problem because it reduces people’s ability to work, leads to a decline in health-related quality of life, and can cause depression or anxiety.
The treatment of vestibular disorders can be divided according to different criteria in several ways. One of the practical/didactic divisions related to the treatment of vestibular disorders is one that talks about what the treatment affects, and it is divided into three categories: causal (specific action on a specific cause of the disease), symptomatic (treating various symptoms of the disease), and rehabilitative (aimed at promoting recovery).
This Special Issue will identify and bridge gaps in the diagnosis and management of vestibular disorders based on a combination of original research and review papers.
Topics of interest include the following:
- The epidemiology of vestibular disorders;
- The role of genetics in the development of vestibular disorders;
- The assessment of the vestibular system;
- Clinical forms of vestibular disorders;
The management of vestibular disorders.
