A randomised controlled trial of dizziness interventions based on a multidisciplinary assessment in older people: towards the development of a multiple profile assessment of dizziness – the MPA-D

头晕在老年人中非常普遍，经常导致功能残疾和心理痛苦。然而，它并没有得到很好的理解，因此常常得不到解决、诊断不当和治疗不当。这项研究将调查多学科评估和干预是否可以减少报告的头晕并提高老年人的生活质量，最终开发出一种有效的评估工具，提供头晕的鉴别诊断。

Dizziness is highly prevalent among older people and often leads to functional disability and psychological distress. However, it is not well understood and is consequently often unresolved, ill-diagnosed, and inappropriately treated. This research will investigate whether a multidisciplinary assessment and intervention can reduce reported dizziness and improve quality of life in older people, to ultimately develop a validated assessment tool for providing a differential diagnosis of dizziness.
