Psychological treatment in Ménière’s disease

Ménière’s disease is a chronic disorder that leads to acute attacks of severe vertigo, tinnitus and hearing loss. The condition is unpredictable, and distress is common in patients. There is also a link between severity of symptoms and anxiety or stressful situations, making treatment of psychological symptoms relevant.

SBU Enquiry Service

Consists of structured literature searches to highlight studies that can address questions received by the SBU Enquiry Service from Swedish healthcare or social service providers. We assess the risk of bias in systematic reviews and when needed also quality and transferability of results in health economic studies.
