PMID 42339053WHAT IT FOUND
This paper counts publications about vestibular rehabilitation, not patients.
It maps who is publishing and on what, and reports no treatment outcomes, so there is nothing here to change your practice.
What this paper is
This is a bibliometric analysis of the vestibular rehabilitation literature. It counts and maps 907 publications on dizziness and vestibular rehabilitation from 2014 to 2024: which countries, institutions, authors and keywords appear most often, and how those patterns shifted over the decade. No patients were assessed and no treatment was tested, so there is no clinical finding here for a therapist to act on. The treatment recommendations that appear in its later sections are taken from other studies the authors cite, not produced by this analysis.
The easy way to misread this
Do not read the later sections' recommendations about early vestibular rehabilitation, corticosteroids or acupuncture as findings of this study. Those come from other papers the authors cite. This analysis tested nothing in patients.
