ER doctors seek better way to spot stroke hidden in dizziness

NCT ID NCT07287891

Summary

This study aims to help emergency room doctors better identify when dizziness or vertigo is caused by a serious neurological problem like a stroke, rather than a minor inner ear issue. Researchers will test a simple bedside examination method on 825 adult patients coming to the ER with these symptoms. The goal is to reduce misdiagnosis and cut down on unnecessary and costly brain scans.
