United Kingdom39 participantsStarted 2019-04-09

Plain-language summary

The primary aim of this study is to determine whether the prevalence of neuroticism, anxiety and body vigilance is higher in patients diagnosed with PPPD compared to those who suffered a vestibular insult but did not develop PPPD and healthy controls. An increased prevalence of one or more of these factors may identify them as risk factors in the development of PPPD. The secondary aim is to understand how PPPD affects quality of life.
