This clear and practical PPPD review by Ozedemir et al. (European Journal of Neurology, Feb 2026) provides an excellent clinical framework for assessment and management.

Despite the 2017 Bárány Society criteria, PPPD can still be difficult to explain well. The authors offer a structured approach grounded in the Cambridge-Calgary model, FND recommendations, decades of clinical experience, and importantly, input from patients with PPPD.

For vestibular clinics, confident differentiation remains essential. Objective exclusion of active peripheral pathology supports a clear diagnosis and earlier referral to targeted rehabilitation.

An excellent and highly practical contribution. Well worth reading:

A comprehensive and timely review by Lau, Fedorowski, Raj, Kavi, Seeley, Gallagher and colleagues in Heart, Lung and Circulation (Feb 2026) brings welcome clarity to Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS).

The authors highlight what many of us are seeing in clinic: rising prevalence, significant diagnostic delay, and the need for coordinated, multidisciplinary care.

For neurologists, cardiologists, vestibular clinicians and allied health professionals, this review is a valuable synthesis of current diagnostic criteria, comorbidities and management considerations, including neurological and paediatric perspectives.

A strong reminder that early recognition matters.

And that structured orthostatic assessment remains central to evidence informed care.

PPPD is real, common, and complex.
It significantly impacts work and quality of life, yet remains underdiagnosed and often misunderstood. Without clear findings on examination, lab tests or imaging, PPPD continues to challenge both clinicians and researchers.

Thanks to authors, Chen Qin et al for this comprehensive literature review highlighting new insights:
• CBT with anti-anxiety meds can support both symptom relief and medication response
• Vestibular rehab remains essential, but personalisation will be key
• Neuromodulation (tDCS, rTMS) is promising, though still under investigation

Without a one-size-fits-all solution, the future of PPPD treatment lies in through differential diagnosis and targeted, multimodal care.

Thanks to Act for another excellent live stream Q &A - and for making the recordings freely available for those of us in other time zones 🙂

If you work with patients with PPPD or vestibular migraine, this is a great resource to share. It reinforces your treatment plans, and helps patients understand:
• What symptoms to take seriously
• When to push through (or not)
• What recovery can look like

Clear, evidence-informed content that supports gold standard care.

In this study by Schoenmaekers et al., 131 patients with MdDS underwent VOR readaptation using a fixed optokinetic stimulation (OKS) protocol.

Results:
- 64% success rate
- Significant improvement in symptoms and posturography
- No difference in outcomes between motion-triggered and spontaneous onset.

This reinforces the value of standardised VOR-based treatment for a condition that continues to be under-recognised. For clinicians working with persistent dizziness, staying current on MdDS, PPPD and POTS is critical. They’re not rare; they’re underdiagnosed.

Orthostatic dizziness isn’t always what it seems.

This recent review paper (Front. Neurol., 01 October 2025) underscores how easily PPPD can be mistaken for other causes of orthostatic dizziness: from POTS and bilateral vestibulopathy to cerebral small vessel disease.

What stands out? PPPD’s overlap with other conditions can delay accurate diagnosis. Yet timely differentiation matters. It guides the right treatment and helps avoid unnecessary investigations.

Underlying mechanisms of OD in PPPD are complex:
• Altered cortical network activity
• Vestibular-autonomic dysfunction
• Sensory-perceptual misintegration

Clinicians: if a patient’s symptoms worsen with standing or walking, don’t stop at “dizzy on standing”. Dig deeper. Distinguish. Treat with confidence.
