Enhancing the accuracy in diagnosing Peripheral vestibular disorders

Peripheral vestibular disorder (PVD) is serious and common. Clinically, giving an accurate diagnosis of PVD can be challenging. Without the appropriate diagnosis, clinicians are not able to provide proper management for patients. Therefore, this study was conducted to enhance the accuracy in diagnos...

Without the appropriate diagnosis, clinicians are not able to provide proper management for patients. Therefore, this study was conducted to enhance the accuracy in diagnosing PVD by investigating two new tests, i.e. Vestibular evoked myogenic potential (VEMP) and Malay version of vertigo symptom scale (MVVSS) to be compared with the existing vestibular tests, namely caloric test and Dix-Hallpike test (DHT). This study consisted of two parts: pilot (translation and validation of MVVSS and optimization of VEMP protocol) and main study.
