What tests are used to diagnose the underlying cause of vertigo?
Diagnosing vertigo starts with a thorough clinical evaluation, focusing on your symptoms, history, and any recent injuries.
Depending on your situation, testing may include:
- Vestibular (balance) testing to assess how your inner ear and brain communicate
- Ocular motor testing to evaluate how your eyes track movement
- Cognitive assessments if there’s concern about brain function after injury
- Imaging (like MRI or CT scans) if neurological causes are suspected
At specialized neuro centers, these tests are often combined to create a comprehensive picture of brain and balance function, especially for patients recovering from concussion or TBI.
