- Background
and Objectives: Dizziness often takes a chronic course and can
influence the emotion of life. Dizziness is associated with psychological factors
such as anxiety and depression. Type D personality is also related to the negative
emotions including anxiety and depression. Therefore, the aim of this study was
to determine the correlation between chronic dizziness and anxiety/depression/
type D personality. Materials and Methods: Chronic dizziness was defined when
the dizziness had persisted more than three months. We analyzed the data of 72
patients with chronic dizziness between November 2012 and August 2014. The
patients with chronic dizziness were asked to complete a survey regarding demographic
data, history of dizziness, Beck depression inventory-II (BDI-II), Hamilton
anxiety scale (HAM-A), type D personality scale 14 (DS-14), and dizziness handicap
inventory (DHI). Results: The patients with chronic dizziness had a trend
of higher frequency of type D personality (52.7%) compared to general population.
In the patients with chronic dizziness, there was significant positive correlation
between DHI score and BDI-II, HAM-A, and DS-14 score. Conclusion: These
results
suggest that the patients with chronic dizziness, compared to the general
population, have a trend of higher frequency of type D personality. There is
significant positive correlation between chronic dizziness and anxiety/depression/
type D personality.

- Background and Objectives: It is necessary to establish the most efficient diagnostic and therapeutic method for benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV), which is appropriate for Korean healthcare system. We aimed to evaluate current state of Korean clinician’s diagnostic and therapeutic approaches for BPPV. Materials and Methods: A 16-item survey was emailed to the members of dizziness department of Otology Research Interest Group in the Korean Otologic Society (n=68). 43 were returned and analyzed. Results: All respondents (100%) used Dix-Hallpike test as a diagnostic tool for vertical canal-BPPV. Supine roll test was used for diagnosing lateral canal BPPV in nearly all the respondents (97.7%). Epley maneuver was chosen as otolith repositioning maneuver (ORM) for posterior canal BPPV in all respondents and barbecue rotation (BBQ) was used for treating lateral canal BPPV with geotropic nystagmus in 95.3% of respondents. Extreme variation was noted for therapeutic approach of lateral canal BPPV with ageotropic nystagmus BBQ, with 4 kinds of ORM and adjunctive measures to liberate otolith from cupula, while BBQ was again the most commonly used ORM (76.7%). Conclusion: The development of practical and efficient ORM for lateral canal BPPV with ageotropic nystagmus is necessary.
