Implications for research and practice
reduction of vestibular symptoms, chronic vestibular syndrome
Results from this trial show that internet-based VR can provide a long-term reduction of vestibular symptoms in primary care patients with chronic vestibular syndrome. The favourable conclusions of this 36-month follow-up show that this safe and inexpensive treatment is ready to be made available for daily general practice. Future research questions are therefore mostly aimed at implementation. The authors are currently working on a large implementation research project to make stand-alone VR freely available to all in Dutch general practice (I-RECOVER trial). By assessing adoption, coverage, and sustainability of online VR, the authors aim to bridge science and daily general practice, providing patients and GPs with an easy solution to treat chronic vestibular syndrome.The authors thank all participants and GPs who participated in the trial.
