ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying a condition called benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV), which causes episodes of dizziness when a person changes their head position. The goal is to understand how BPPV affects patients' physical health, mental well-being, and blood tests. Researchers also want to create a database that uses advanced brain imaging techniques to identify patients who might still experience dizziness after treatment. This work aims to improve how BPPV is diagnosed and managed in China.

To participate in this study, individuals must have a confirmed diagnosis of BPPV, or they can be healthy volunteers who have never had BPPV. However, people with certain serious medical conditions, such as brain tumors or mental health disorders, cannot join. Those who take part can expect to undergo assessments that will help researchers learn more about BPPV and how to treat it effectively. Overall, this study is important for finding better ways to help people who struggle with dizziness related to BPPV.
