Description
Asuman Feda Bayrak, Baturalp Çetin, and Mehmet Doğan ask whether vitamin D marks the vertigo patients who are hardest to cure in this 2025 study. The condition, called BPPV, causes brief spinning spells when loose crystals shift in the inner ear. Head maneuvers usually settle it, but some patients need the maneuvers again and again.
The study followed eighty-six patients, most of them women and most over sixty. All were checked with video eye tracking, then treated with the fitting maneuver for their canal. Forty-three percent needed repeat maneuvers. Calcium levels did not differ between those who resisted treatment and those who did not. Vitamin D did: the resistant group averaged clearly lower levels. The authors advise checking vitamin D in stubborn cases, since correcting a shortage may be part of care.
