Recent Advances in Diagnosis and Treatment of Vestibular Disorders—2nd Edition

Dear Colleagues,

Vestibular medicine centers around the assessment, diagnosis, and treatment of patients with dizziness and vertigo, and, in all these fields, there has been an enormous expansion of research in recent years, the best of which we seek to collate in this Special Issue.

Treatment is now, on occasion, possible for specific diseases, but always by keeping in mind the natural history of the disorder. New methods of treatment, frequently administered at tertiary referral centers, include both common drugs and uncommon medications that have been demonstrated to be applicable to these types of disorder. Gene therapy appears to be possible thanks to the enormous efforts of the genetic mapping of some diseases. On the other hand, surgery, requiring precise anatomical knowledge, being applicable for disabling and unresponsive forms of disease, with new vestibular implants representing a way to solve the most disabling situations when both vestibular systems are nonfunctional. Vestibular rehabilitation by means of sensory substitution, adaptation, and habituation is based on the reweighting of the different sensory systems that allow for dynamic and static equilibrium.

Topics that are welcome in this Special Issue include, but are not limited to, the epidemiology of dizziness, the role of genetics in the development of vestibulopathy, diagnostic approaches, and interventions for patients with dizziness and vertigo, such as medical treatment, surgery, and vestibular rehabilitation.
