About this trial

This study aims to explore the efficacy and safety of rimegepant for acute dizziness, including vestibular migraine (VM) and benign recurrent vertigo (BRV), through a multicenter, randomized controlled clinical trial. This study addresses the urgent clinical need for effective therapies for acute dizziness. Additionally, we will dynamically observe the changes in calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) levels before and after treatment and explore the predictive value of CGRP levels for treatment efficacy and the prognosis of recurrence in patients. This study aims to provide a scientific basis to improve clinical management strategies for acute dizziness.
