Randomized Controlled Trial
Online vestibular rehabilitation for chronic vestibular syndrome: 36-month follow-up of a randomised controlled trial in general practice.
Vestibular rehabilitation (VR) is the preferred treatment for chronic vestibular symptoms such as dizziness and vertigo. An internet-based programme was developed to increase uptake of VR. The authors have previously reported that internet-based VR resulted in a clinically relevant decrease of vestibular symptoms for up to 6 months, compared with usual care. ⋯ Internet-based VR provides a maintained improvement of vestibular symptoms for up to 36 months in patients with chronic vestibular syndrome.
