Abstract
A cohort study on 490 patients experiencing peripheral vestibular vertigo participated in an international postmarket surveillance study evaluating betahistine. Primary endpoints included the SF-36v2, the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, and the Dizziness Handicap Index. The study revealed a significant 41-point improvement in the total Dizziness Handicap Index score, with statistically significant enhancements observed in each domain of the Dizziness Handicap Index scale. Betahistine therapy demonstrated notable improvements in anxiety and depression scores according to the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, along with enhancements in both physical and mental components of SF-36v2. Within the safety population, only two suspected adverse drug reaction was reported. The study suggests that a daily dosage of 48 mg of betahistine is particularly effective in improving health-related quality of life measures among patients experiencing recurrent peripheral vestibular vertigo, and the drug was well-tolerated
