| Abstrakt: | Aim of the Study: To determinate the prevalence of anxiety associated with vertigo of vestibular origin. Design: A retrospective study. Setting: Patients from Salamanca's University Hospital (Neuro-Otology). Patients: 138 patients with asymptomatic vestibular dysfunction (group A: with filiated disease and group B: with unfiliated disease). Instrumentation: Structured anamnese and STAI questionnary (State-Trait-Anxiety-Scale) were realized in the whole collective. Results: Anxiety (elevated score in STAI-scale) was detected in 48.6% patients and more differences between groups A and B were not significant. With logistic regression anxiety is related with previous symptomatological experiences and subjective global incapacity. Anxiety is clearly connected with the symptoms in the intercritic periods. Conclusion: Anxiety is associated with vestibular disease and it follows a parallel course. |
