Vestibular Suppressant Utilization and Subsequent Falls Among Patients 65 Years and Older With Dizziness in the United States
Although vestibular suppressants may provide immediate relief from symptoms during an acute vestibular crisis, use is incongruent with guideline-concordant care for most vestibular diagnoses and is also potentially counterproductive and injurious. Multi-faceted interventions that engage clinicians and patients are needed to improve the value of care for patients with vestibular disorders to de-implement the routine use of suppressants for dizziness.
