  Patient education: Vertigo (Beyond the Basics) […] „Vertigo” is one common type of dizziness. If you have vertigo, you may feel like you are moving or like the room is moving around you, even when you are still. Vertigo can be caused by a number of different problems involving the inner ear or brain. […] This article is primarily about vertigo, including causes and available treatments.

• #10 Treatment of Vertigo | AAFP

  https://www.aafp.org/pubs/afp/issues/2005/0315/p1115.html

  Vertigo is the illusion of motion, usually rotational motion. As patients age, vertigo becomes an increasingly common presenting complaint. The most common causes of this condition are benign paroxysmal positional vertigo, acute vestibular neuronitis or labyrinthitis, Mnires disease, migraine, and anxiety disorders. Less common causes include vertebrobasilar ischemia and retrocochlear tumors. The distinction between peripheral and central vertigo usually can be made clinically and guides management decisions. Most patients with vertigo do not require extensive diagnostic testing and can be treated in the primary care setting. Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo usually improves with a canalith repositioning procedure. Acute vestibular neuronitis or labyrinthitis improves with initial stabilizing measures and a vestibular suppressant medication, followed by vestibular rehabilitation exercises. Mnires disease often responds to the combination of a low-salt diet and diuretics. Vertiginous migraine headaches generally improve with dietary changes, a tricyclic antidepressant, and a beta blocker or calcium channel blocker. Vertigo associated with anxiety usually responds to a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor.

  Dizziness is a common yet imprecise symptom. It was traditionally divided into four categories based on the patient’s history: vertigo, presyncope, disequilibrium, and light-headedness. […] Episodic vertigo triggered by head motion may be due to benign paroxysmal positional vertigo. Vertigo with unilateral hearing loss suggests Meniere disease. […] The HINTS (head-impulse, nystagmus, test of skew) examination can help distinguish peripheral from central etiologies. […] Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo can be treated with a canalith repositioning procedure (e.g., Epley maneuver). Treatment of Meniere disease includes salt restriction and diuretics. Symptoms of vestibular neuritis are relieved with vestibular suppressant medications and vestibular rehabilitation. […] Peripheral causes of dizziness arise from abnormalities in the peripheral vestibular system, which is comprised of the semicircular canals, the saccule, the utricle, and the vestibular nerve. Common peripheral causes of dizziness/vertigo include BPPV, vestibular neuritis (i.e., vestibular neuronitis), and Meniere disease.

• #45 Dizziness: Approach to Evaluation and Management | AAFP

  https://www.aafp.org/pubs/afp/issues/2017/0201/p154.html

  BPPV occurs when loose otoconia, known as canaliths, become dislodged and enter the semicircular canals, usually the posterior canal. […] Treatment of BPPV consists of a canalith repositioning procedure such as the Epley maneuver, which repositions the canalith from the semicircular canal into the vestibule. […] Vestibular neuritis is diagnosed on the basis of the clinical history and physical examination. […] Meniere disease causes vertigo and unilateral hearing loss. […] First-line treatment of Meniere disease involves lifestyle changes, including limiting dietary salt intake to less than 2,000 mg per day, reducing caffeine intake, and limiting alcohol to one drink per day.

• #46 Vertigo: Symptoms, Causes & Treatment

  https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/symptoms/21769-vertigo

  Vertigo causes dizziness and makes you feel like you’re spinning when you’re not. Treatments vary and can include medication, repositioning maneuvers or surgery. […] Vertigo is a symptom of lots of health conditions rather than a disease itself, but it can occur along with other symptoms. […] Vertigo treatment depends on the underlying cause. Healthcare providers use a variety of treatments, which may include: Repositioning maneuvers, Vertigo medication, Vestibular rehabilitation therapy (vertigo exercises), Surgery. […] Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) occurs when tiny calcium carbonate crystals (canaliths) move out of the utricle in your inner ear (where they belong) into your semicircular canals. […] Canalith repositioning procedures, like the Epley maneuver, can help shift the crystals out of your semicircular canals back into your utricle.

• #47 Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) – Diagnosis and treatment – Mayo Clinic

  https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/vertigo/diagnosis-treatment/drc-20370060

  Vertigo is caused by a problem with the nerves and structures in the inner ear that control balance (vestibular labyrinth). Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) occurs when tiny canalith particles (otoconia) break loose and fall into the wrong part of the semicircular canals of the inner ear. The goal of the canalith repositioning procedure is to move the particles from the inner ear to a part of the ear where they won’t cause problems (the utricle). […] Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo may go away on its own within a few weeks or months. But, to help relieve BPPV sooner, your doctor, audiologist or physical therapist may treat you with a series of movements known as the canalith repositioning procedure. […] Performed in your doctor’s office, the canalith repositioning procedure consists of several simple and slow maneuvers for positioning your head. The goal is to move particles from the fluid-filled semicircular canals of your inner ear into a tiny baglike open area (vestibule) that houses one of the otolith organs in your ear, where these particles don’t cause trouble and are more easily resorbed.

  BPPV usually goes away on its own. However, until it’s successfully treated, it can come back. […] The most effective benign paroxysmal positional vertigo treatments involve physical therapy exercises. […] The goal of these exercises is to move the calcium carbonate particles out of your semicircular canals and back into your utricle. […] A single particle repositioning procedure is effective in treating about 80% to 90% of cases of BPPV. […] Your healthcare provider can perform this maneuver during an office visit. […] In many cases, BPPV goes away on its own eventually. […] You can’t prevent BPPV, but you can manage it with particle repositioning exercises.

[…] While Meniere disease is a lifelong condition, nonsurgical treatments are effective in managing symptoms in approximately 90 percent of people. […] Vestibular neuritis, also known as labyrinthitis, is thought to be related to a virus that causes swelling around the nerve involved in maintaining balance. […] If your doctor is able to identify the cause of your vertigo, they can recommend treatments such as medications, procedures, or lifestyle changes.

  Vertigo is the illusion of motion, usually rotational motion. As patients age, vertigo becomes an increasingly common presenting complaint. The most common causes of this condition are benign paroxysmal positional vertigo, acute vestibular neuronitis or labyrinthitis, Mnires disease, migraine, and anxiety disorders. Less common causes include vertebrobasilar ischemia and retrocochlear tumors. The distinction between peripheral and central vertigo usually can be made clinically and guides management decisions. Most patients with vertigo do not require extensive diagnostic testing and can be treated in the primary care setting. Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo usually improves with a canalith repositioning procedure. Acute vestibular neuronitis or labyrinthitis improves with initial stabilizing measures and a vestibular suppressant medication, followed by vestibular rehabilitation exercises. Mnires disease often responds to the combination of a low-salt diet and diuretics. Vertiginous migraine headaches generally improve with dietary changes, a tricyclic antidepressant, and a beta blocker or calcium channel blocker.
