Heart rate variability in BPPV

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This prospective case-control study compares short-term heart rate variability (HRV) between adults with clinically confirmed benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) and matched healthy controls. Recordings will focus on parasympathetic indicators such as RMSSD and the coefficient of variation of RR intervals (COV RR/R). People with known cardiac disease, arrhythmias, or on medications that affect HRV are excluded to reduce confounding. The approach aims to clarify whether altered vagal activity accompanies BPPV onset or recurrence.
