Evaluation of Dizziness in the Emergency Department: Prevalence and Diagnostic Utility of Clinical Scales for Functional Vertigo

Functional vertigo is an underdiagnosed condition that produces dizziness in patients. The Vertigo Symptom Scale and Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale show promise for enhancing early diagnosis while reducing unnecessary imaging and improving patient care. Future research is needed to confirm these findings through larger multicenter cohorts.
