An observational study in ED With Vertigo, Dizziness and Unsteadiness, sponsored by Fondazione IRCCS Policlinico San Matteo di Pavia. Recruiting at 1 site in Italy. Open to participants aged 18 Years and older. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2025-12-17.
Sponsored by Fondazione IRCCS Policlinico San Matteo di Pavia · Observational
This study will assess the sensitivity and specificity of the bedside examination algorithm performed by ED physicians. Finally, it aims to identify predictors of a central cause of the symptoms. This will consequently reduce the rate of misdiagnosis as well as the costs and length of stay due to inappropriate neuroimaging.
226 studies on the registry are indexed under Dizziness; 56 are open to participants now.
This study's planned enrollment of 825 is above the median of 126 across 44 observational studies indexed under Dizziness.
