Multimodal treatment of persistent postural–perceptual dizziness

Abstract

Therapeutic principles comprise cognitive-behavioral therapy, vestibular rehabilitation exercises, and serotonergic medication. However, large-scale, randomized, controlled trials are still missing. Follow-up observations after multimodal interdisciplinary therapy reveal an improvement in symptoms in most patients with chronic dizziness. The study was not designed to detect diagnosis-specific effects, but patients with PPPD and patients with other vestibular disorders benefit from multimodal therapies.
