New flowchart aims to simplify vertigo diagnosis for GPs
NCT ID NCT07299487
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests a simple flowchart designed to help general practitioners diagnose vertigo and decide when to refer patients to an ear, nose, and throat (ENT) specialist. Researchers will compare the flowchart's diagnosis with the ENT doctor's final diagnosis in 50 patients. The goal is to see if the tool improves accuracy and reduces unnecessary referrals.
