Plain-language summary
Differential diagnosis of vertigo is complex especially in emergency department, nevertheless it is crucial. The aim of this study is to assess the accuracy of STANDING algorithm for discriminate central from peripheral type of vertigo, identifying more easily the presence of ischemic stroke.

AI-rewrites the medical criteria so a patient or caregiver can understand them. Always confirm with the trial site.
Inclusion Criteria:
* patients over 18 years of age.
* patients affected by vertigo, dizziness or balance disorder.
Exclusion Criteria:
* age under 18.
* patients unable to cooperate (with severe dementia or incapable to provide consensus).
* patients affected by disease of cervical spine or any trauma of this part of body that contraindicate the manipulation of neck.
* impractical follow-up.
* dying patient (less three estimated months to live).
* patients with neurologic deficit identified during triage examination (Cincinnati Prehospital stroke scale, CPSS\>0) of suffering from another disease that can be the cause of dizziness/balance disorder (e.g. anemia, arrhythmia, hypoglycemia, alcoholic intoxication).
* patients without symptoms at the time of examination.
* patients who deny the participation in the study.
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
