OBJECTIVE: The vestibular system is closely connected to emotion-processing neuronal circuits. Patients with bilateral vestibulopathy (BVP), a chronic loss of vestibular function, show remarkably lower rates of psychiatric comorbidities and vertigo-related anxiety (VRA) than those with episodic vertigo/dizziness (v/d). This study aimed to evaluate whether patients with BVP differ from those with episodic v/d in terms of VRA, general anxiety, and cognitions about body and health.
METHODS: This cross-sectional study involved a subsample of 202 patients with episodic v/d (i.e., vestibular migraine, vestibular paroxysmia, or Menière's disease) and 43 patients with BVP. All patients underwent standardised neurological/neurotological examinations, structured clinical interviews (SCID-I), and self-report questionnaires, such as the Vertigo Handicap Questionnaire (VHQ), Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI), Trait Anxiety from the State-Trait-Anxiety Inventory (STAI-T), and Cognitions About Body and Health questionnaire (CABAH). Non-parametric tests were used for analysis. Due to multiple testing, the significance level was set at p ≤ .008.
RESULTS: Patients with episodic v/d exhibited higher VRA levels than those with BVP. However, this difference was not statistically significant (p = .04; r = 0.15, small effect). Additionally, patients with BVP reported more catastrophizing cognitions (p < .001; r = 0.25, small effect) and bodily weakness (p = .003; r = 0.22, small effect) compared to those with episodic v/d. There were no differences in general anxiety levels (BAI and STAI-T) between patients with v/d and those with BVP.
CONCLUSION: Patients with episodic v/d and BVP differed in their appraisal (cognition). The difference in VRA (subjective feeling) was not statistically significant. These preliminary results are discussed using a component approach to emotions.
