Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Psychiatry
  • Otolaryngology

Background:

  • Vestibular dysfunction frequently co-occurs with psychological distress.
  • Understanding the prevalence and correlates of anxiety in vestibular disorders is crucial for comprehensive patient care.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine the prevalence of anxiety in patients with vertigo of vestibular origin.
  • To explore factors associated with anxiety in this patient population.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective study involving 138 patients with asymptomatic vestibular dysfunction.
  • Utilized structured anamnesis and the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) questionnaire.
  • Patients were categorized into two groups based on affiliated or unaffiliated disease.

Main Results:

  • Anxiety, indicated by elevated STAI scores, was detected in 48.6% of patients.
  • Logistic regression revealed anxiety is linked to prior symptomatic experiences and subjective global incapacity.
  • No significant differences in anxiety prevalence were found between the affiliated and unaffiliated disease groups.

Conclusions:

  • Anxiety is significantly associated with vestibular disease.
  • The course of anxiety appears to run parallel to the progression and experience of vestibular disorders.
