OBJECTIVES: To investigate how static and dynamic utricular functions differentially correlate with dizziness symptoms and quality of life (QoL) recovery in patients with acute vestibular neuritis (VN).
Static utricular function testing may offer useful prognostic information for clinicians managing acute vestibular neuritis recovery, but prospective validation in larger cohorts is needed before routine adoption.
Identifying reliable biomarkers of vestibular neuritis recovery could guide more personalised rehabilitation timelines and set realistic patient expectations in vestibular clinic settings.
- 01Static and dynamic utricular function were assessed in acute vestibular neuritis patients.
- 02Static otolith signals correlated with dizziness symptoms and quality-of-life recovery trajectory.
- 03Published in Clinical Otolaryngology, targeting ENT and audiology/vestibular specialists.
- 04Findings suggest utricular testing could serve as a prognostic marker in clinical practice.
- 05Study design details (sample size, controls) are not fully reported in available abstract.
Static otolith (utricular) signals reflect the clinical course of recovery in acute vestibular neuritis.
