Webinar Title and Description: PPPD: An Update on Mechanisms to Inform Treatment - Dizziness and balance problems are very common yet notoriously hard to diagnose and treat effectively resulting in patients with vestibular and balance disorders too often impaired by their symptoms for many years. This webinar will review the chronic functional vestibular disorder of persistent postural-perceptual dizziness (PPPD) with a particular emphasis on recent findings that may enhance treatment. Results of larger studies of vestibular rehabilitation, medication, and psychotherapy as well as investigations of misperception of motion in patients with PPPD have been published recently. These do not yet provide Level 1 evidence about individualized therapy but point to opportunities to improve treatment.
Learner Outcomes: Upon completion of this webinar, participants will be able to:
- Utilize recent evidence about the three main treatment modalities for PPPD to improve individualized care for patients.
- Incorporate recent data about misperception of motion in patients with PPPD into clinical management.
Successful Completion: Participants will be present during the live webinar in its entirety and complete an attendance verification and assessment in the Academy Learning Portal within one month of the live air date.
