Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Evaluation by VNG Measurements [2 years]
Video NystagmoGraphy (VNG) equipment will objectively quantify nystagmus characteristics during diagnostic procedures.
- Subjective vertigo [2 years]
A systematic registration of experienced vertigo during each diagnostic procedure will take place.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Dizziness Handicap Inventory (DHI) questionnaire [2 years]
Pre-treatment fulfillment of the questionnaire "Dizziness Handicap Inventory" (DHI) will quantify the level of experienced vertigo.
