Abstract：Objective To report perceived severity,trigger factors,behavioral characteristics,and sleep quality in patients with chronic subjective dizziness(CSD).Methods Clinical data of 120 patients with CSD were collected.The Disability Rating Scale(DHI),Hamilton Anxiety Scale(HAMA),Hamilton Depression Scale(HAMD)and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) were used to assess the severity of subjective symptoms,behavioral characteristics,sleep quality and trigger factors.Results The average DHI score was 54.08,and dizziness was reported to be mainly moder-ate.Visual stimulation was cited as trigger by 65.8% of patients,and motor stimulation by 55% of patients.Definite anx-iety(HAMA≥14)was found in 65.8% of patients,definite depression(HAMD≥17)in 40.8% of patients,and sleep disor-ders(PSQI>7)in 76.7% of patients.Conclusion Dizziness in CSD patients is mainly rated as moderate.Visual stimula-tion and motor stimulation are the main trigger factors for CSD patients.Anxiety and depression are closely related to CSD,and patients often suffer from concurrent sleep disorders.
