目的：持续性姿势知觉性头晕（PPPD）是慢性头晕的常见原因，但仅有少数研究报道其临床特征，国内尚未开展相关研究。因此，本研究的目的是首次分析我国PPPD的特征。设计：在标准临床实践中收集所有患者的数据，并进一步评估 PPPD 与对照组相比的特征。研究样本：共选取43例确诊为PPPD的患者作为研究组进行分析。结果：研究组中女性明显多于男性，且大多数病例发病年龄为中年，与对照组相比，睡眠质量明显下降，焦虑水平在统计学上显着较高。人格分析发现，神经质明显高于对照组。结论：在该样本中，我们发现PPPD以女性患者较多，发病年龄为40-60岁，大多数患者有睡眠障碍，焦虑是待识别的主要情绪障碍，人格分析发现神经质人格可能是发生PPPD的危险因素。建议在中国进行进一步的大规模研究。
Objective: Persistent postural-perceptual dizziness (PPPD) is a common cause of chronic dizziness, but only a few studies have reported its clinical characteristics, and no related research has been performed in China. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to analyze the characteristics of PPPD for the first time in China. Design: Data was collected from all patients during standard clinical practice, and further to evaluate the characteristics of PPPD comparing with the control group. Study sample: A total of 43 patients diagnosed with PPPD were selected as the study group for analysis. Results: Women were significantly more represented in the study group than men, and in the majority of cases the age of onset was in middle-age, and sleep quality was clearly decreased compared with controls, with more statistically significantly higher levels of anxiety. Personality analysis identified that neuroticism was significantly higher than in controls. Conclusions: In this sample we showed that PPPD was more represented in female patients, the age of onset was 40-60 years old, the majority of patients had sleep disorders, anxiety was the main mood disorder to be identified, and personality analysis found that neurotic personality may be the risk factor for developing PPPD. Further large scale studies are suggested in China.
