Long‐Term Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo: Recurrence, Residual Symptoms and Risk of Falls

Key Points

The aim is to explore the long-term outcomes of benign paroxysmal positional vertigo, focusing on recurrence and symptoms.
Assessment of recurrence rates of benign paroxysmal positional vertigo
Evaluation of residual symptoms impacting quality of life
Analysis of fall risk in relation to the condition
High rates of recurrence observed in patients previously treated for benign paroxysmal positional vertigo.
Persistent residual symptoms reported, affecting daily functioning and quality of life.
Increased risk of falls noted, particularly among the elderly population.

Abstract

Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo demonstrates significant long-term morbidity despite successful initial treatment, with high recurrence rates and persistent residual symptoms affecting quality of life and increasing fall risk, particularly in elderly patients requiring ongoing monitoring and rehabilitation.
