Abstract

Abstract

Dizziness is the most common complaint among patients in general practice clinics. Dizziness can have negative effects on patients' life, social, work, and other aspects, causing functional impairment. The symptom of dizziness is subjective and non-specific, and the cause may involve multiple disciplines. There is still a lack of tools to assess dizziness accurately and rapidly at present. Understanding and treating dizziness correctly is of great significance to patients and their families. The etiology of dizziness is numerous and diverse, and the management of dizziness remains a challenge for general practitioners. For patients manifested by dizziness, the current management methods of general practitioners include cause-based treatment, symptomatic treatment, rehabilitation, and psychotherapy to reduce symptoms, relieve mood, and reduce impairment of daily functioning. Further research is needed on how general practitioners can help some people with dizziness to live with symptoms and find effective interventions and treatments. This article summarizes domestic and international literature on the diagnosis, and treatment of dizziness in recent years, and reviews the epidemiology, clinical characteristics, diagnosis, and treatment of dizziness, in order to provide general practitioners with reference for the management of medically unspecified diseases manifested by dizziness.
