VNG/ENG Testing

VNG/ENG Testing

Dizziness and vertigo, pervasive complaints affecting 15 to 35% of individuals, significantly impact activities of daily living and quality of life. Patients experiencing dizziness often endure heightened sick leave rates and social withdrawal. Diagnosing these symptoms, particularly when they deviate from classic disease patterns, poses a clinical challenge. Distinguishing between otolaryngologic, neurologic, and cardiac origins of dizziness compounds the diagnostic complexity. Videonystagmography (VNG) and electronystagmography (ENG) are essential for solving the diagnostic puzzle of dizziness and vertigo. Alongside a comprehensive physical exam, VNG/ENG testing furnishes objective data aiding in accurate diagnoses. This activity reviews the details of VNG/ENG procedures, the interpretation of results, and the role of these procedures in diagnosing and treating dizzy or vertiginous patients, empowering clinicians to utilize this technology effectively. With this knowledge, healthcare providers will expand their expertise to optimize patient care and improve outcomes for patients with vestibular disorders. The activity also emphasizes and underscores the role of the interprofessional team in improving outcomes for patients with dizziness or vertigo.
