Summary

This study follows 400 people who come to the emergency room with sudden vertigo or dizziness that might be caused by a mini-stroke in the back of the brain. Doctors will track their symptoms, treatments, and outcomes over a year to learn how to better tell these dangerous episodes apart from less serious conditions like migraines. The goal is to improve early diagnosis and identify who is at higher risk for a future stroke.
