Author response: Questionnaire-based diagnosis of benign paroxysmal positional vertigo

We thank Drs. Gold and Newman-Toker for their interest in our article¹ on self-diagnosis of benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) using a questionnaire. As they indicated, questionnaire-based diagnosis of BPPV seems feasible with acceptable accuracy, although generalizability of the results should further be determined in other clinical settings. The ultimate goal of the study was self-application of canalith repositioning maneuvers by the patients themselves based on the results of the questionnaire. We are now conducting a clinical trial for this purpose (CRIS registry no. KCT00002364) and look forward to reporting the results soon.
