What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Change in Dizziness Handicap Inventory (DHI) Questionnaire Score
Time Frame: 0 and 24 hours
dizziness Handicap Inventory (DHI) evaluates the self-perceived handicapping effects imposed by vestibular system disease. We employed the final version of DHI, which contains 25 items including 7 physical questions, 9 functional questions and 9 emotional questions. DHI has a total score of 100 points (4 points for each item). Higher scores indicate more severe handicap. Thus the maximum score for DHI is 100, while the minimum core is 0.
