About this trial
Persistent Postural-Perceptual Dizziness (PPPD) is a chronic vestibular disorder characterized by persistent symptoms of dizziness or unsteadiness that lasts for three months or longer. It is one of the most frequent causes of chronic dizziness. Our study is designed to early recognize PPPD and to detect the most common precipitating factor of PPPD.
