          Abstract

          RESUMEN: Introducción y objetivo: La presencia de trastornos de la personalidad en pacientes con vértigo ha sido referenciada en diferentes trabajos. Las conexiones del sistema vestibular y el procesamiento de emociones es la causa que apoya dicha asociación. La rehabilitación vestibular se perfila como el tratamiento para el vértigo crónico no compensado, pero suscita la duda de si será suficiente por si sola en pacientes con trastornos de la personalidad o si debe acompañarse de otras terapias dirigidas a estas alteraciones. El objetivo del estudio es analizar la posible influencia de los trastornos de personalidad en la autopercepción de la discapacidad mediante el Dizziness Handicap Inventory (DHI) y en los parámetros de la posturografía estática, antes y después de la rehabilitación vestibular. Método: Estudio prospectivo de 55 pacientes diagnosticados de vértigo crónico periférico o central a los que se trató con ocho sesiones de rehabilitación vestibular. Los pacientes cumplimentaron el DHI y el cuestionario Salamanca al inicio y al final del tratamiento. Resultados: El 65% de los pacientes tenían trastornos de la personalidad. Los rasgos de ansiedad se asociaron a vértigo periférico y los rasgos esquizoides a vértigo central. En todos los pacientes, la puntuación del DHI mejoró (p< 0,01), al igual que algunos parámetros del control del limite de estabilidad (p<0.01). Por otro lado, no se encontró relación entre las variables independientes edad, sexo, diagnóstico clínico y trastorno de la personalidad con los resultados. Conclusiones: En nuestro estudio, los resultados muestran la eficacia de la rehabilitación vestibular en pacientes con vértigo crónico, independientemente de su asociación con trastornos de personalidad.

          SUMMARY: Introduction and objective: The presence of personality disorders in patients with vertigo has been reported in several articles. The connections between the vestibular system and emotion processing are the cause that supports said association. Vestibular rehabilitation is emerging as the treatment for chronic uncompensated vertigo, but it raises the question of whether it will be sufficient by itself in patients with personality disorders or whether it should be accompanied by other therapies aimed at these alterations. The aim of the study is to analyze the possible influence of personality disorders in the self-perception of disability using the Dizziness Handicap Inventory (DHI) and the parameters of static posturography, before and after vestibular rehabilitation. Method: Prospective study of 55 patients diagnosed with chronic vertigo treated with eight sessions of vestibular rehabilitation. The patients completed the DHI and the Salamanca questionnaire before and after the treatment was administered. Results: 65% of the patients had personality disorders. Anxiety traits were associated with peripheral vertigo and schizoid traits with central vertigo. In every patient, the DHI score improved (p<0,01), as well as some parameters of the control of the limit of stability (p<0,01). On the other hand, no relationship was found between the independent variables of age, sex, clinical diagnostic, personality disorder, and the results. Conclusions: In our study, the results show the efficacy of vestibular rehabilitation in patients with chronic vertigo, regardless of its association with personality disorders.

          The Development of the Dizziness Handicap Inventory

          Conventional vestibulometric techniques are inadequate for quantifying the impact of dizziness on everyday life. The 25-item Dizziness Handicap Inventory (DHI) was developed to evaluate the self-perceived handicapping effects imposed by vestibular system disease. The development of the preliminary (37 items) and final versions (25 items) of the DHI are described. The items were subgrouped into three content domains representing functional, emotional, and physical aspects of dizziness and unsteadiness. Cronbach's alpha coefficient was employed to measure reliability based on consistency of the preliminary version. The final version of the DHI was administered to 106 consecutive patients and demonstrated good internal consistency reliability. With the exception of the physical subscale, the mean values for DHI scale scores increased significantly with increases in the frequency of dizziness episodes. Test-retest reliability was high.

            Vestibular rehabilitation for unilateral peripheral vestibular dysfunction.

            This is an update of a Cochrane review first published in The Cochrane Library in Issue 4, 2007 and previously updated in 2011.Unilateral peripheral vestibular dysfunction (UPVD) can occur as a result of disease, trauma or postoperatively. The dysfunction is characterised by complaints of dizziness, visual or gaze disturbances and balance impairment. Current management includes medication, physical manoeuvres and exercise regimes, the latter known collectively as vestibular rehabilitation.

              Psychiatric comorbidity and psychosocial impairment among patients with vertigo and dizziness.

              Vertigo and dizziness are often not fully explained by an organic illness, but instead are related to psychiatric disorders. This study aimed to evaluate psychiatric comorbidity and assess psychosocial impairment in a large sample of patients with a wide range of unselected organic and non-organic (ie, medically unexplained) vertigo/dizziness syndromes. This cross-sectional study involved a sample of 547 patients recruited from a specialised interdisciplinary treatment centre for vertigo/dizziness. Diagnostic evaluation included standardised neurological examinations, structured clinical interview for major mental disorders (SCID-I) and self-report questionnaires regarding dizziness, depression, anxiety, somatisation and quality of life. Neurological diagnostic workup revealed organic and non-organic vertigo/dizziness in 80.8% and 19.2% of patients, respectively. In 48.8% of patients, SCID-I led to the diagnosis of a current psychiatric disorder, most frequently anxiety/phobic, somatoform and affective disorders. In the organic vertigo/dizziness group, 42.5% of patients, particularly those with vestibular paroxysmia or vestibular migraine, had a current psychiatric comorbidity. Patients with psychiatric comorbidity reported more vertigo-related handicaps, more depressive, anxiety and somatisation symptoms, and lower psychological quality of life compared with patients without psychiatric comorbidity. Almost half of patients with vertigo/dizziness suffer from a psychiatric comorbidity. These patients show more severe psychosocial impairment compared with patients without psychiatric disorders. The worst combination, in terms of vertigo-related handicaps, is having non-organic vertigo/dizziness and psychiatric comorbidity. This phenomenon should be considered when diagnosing and treating vertigo/dizziness in the early stages of the disease. Published by the BMJ Publishing Group Limited.
