چکیده
Evidence-based medicine grades scientific research articles according to their structural specification. It represents an evidence value that we can count on for clinical applications. In this review, we evaluate our medical treatment algorithm in peripheral vestibular diseases according to evidence-based medicine rules. Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo, vestibular paroxysmia, labyrinthitis, vestibular neuritis, otosclerosis, autoimmune inner ear disease, Meniere’s disease, and migraine-associated vertigo are discussed.
