Beyond the Spinning Sensation: A Contemporary Review of Vertigo in Clinical Practice
Abstract: Vertigo is a frequently encountered clinical symptom that significantly affects balance, mobility, and quality of life. It arises from a broad spectrum of peripheral and central vestibular disorders, often presenting diagnostic challenges because of overlapping clinical manifestations and variable symptom profiles. Accurate diagnosis is essential for effective management and improved patient outcomes. In recent years, advances in vestibular assessment, including vestibular evoked myogenic potentials (VEMP), video head impulse testing (vHIT), computerized posturography, and other specialized diagnostic techniques, have enhanced the clinician's ability to evaluate vestibular dysfunction with greater precision. This narrative review presents an overview of contemporary concepts in vertigo, focusing on its classification, clinical evaluation, diagnostic approaches, and management strategies. Common vestibular disorders, recent advances in vestibular rehabilitation, and emerging developments such as telemedicine and digital health technologies are also discussed. A comprehensive understanding of current evidence and evolving clinical practices may support accurate diagnosis, facilitate evidence-based decision-making, and contribute to improved patient care in individuals experiencing vertigo.
