VERTIGO PROFILE TEST

Overview

Vertigo is not a disease in itself. Once the cause of vertigo is diagnosed & treated, the person can reclaim balance and return to a healthy life. There are various tests to diagnose vertigo and its cause in order to treat it. 

The diagnosis involves examining any abnormal eye movements and confirm that the ability to follow objects is normal. It further evaluates the involuntary eye-movements (nystagmus) of the patient. The rapid eye movements induced due to head maneuvres may suggest in which ear the problem lies.

NeuroEquilibrium is the leader in using cutting-edge technology in India to conduct a proper diagnosis of vertigo and its cause. Advanced Vertigo and Balance Clinics across India use ultra-modern differential dizziness diagnosing devices to evaluate symptoms and severity of dizzy spells in real-time on an innovative assessment platform.

Vertigo Test 

What It Is

Vertigo tests are a group of specialized medical evaluations designed to identify whether dizziness comes from the inner ear, balance pathways, or the brain. They go beyond routine physical exams to pinpoint the root cause of spinning sensations, imbalance, or unexplained dizziness.

What It Checks

  • Inner ear function – How well the vestibular system senses motion.
  • Balance signals – Interaction between eyes, muscles, and sensory nerves.
  • Brain pathways – Imaging to rule out stroke, tumors, or neurological causes.

Common Tests

  • Videonystagmography (VNG): Monitors the automatic movements of the eyes to determine the presence of any inner ear abnormal signals.
  • Audiometry: Tests on the sense of hearing and balance to assess fluid and nerve problems of the inner ear.
  • Posturography: Evaluates risk of falls and stability in the various standing positions.
  • Imaging (CT or MRI): a scan of the brain and inner ear in certain rare causes..

Outcome

These tests help doctors confirm conditions such as BPPV, Ménière’s disease, and vestibular neuritis. Results guide treatment choices, whether that means repositioning maneuvers, medicine, or further neurological care.

How Vertigo Tests Work (Cause → Effect → Test)

  • Turning head (spinning) results in ear crystals being displaced: Dix-Hallpike maneuver confirmed.
  • Hearing loss + vertigo → Fluid pressure abnormality → Audiometry + vestibular test.
  • Falls and imbalance → Nervous system dysfunction → Diagnosed through the MRI or CT imaging (only happens in rare cases).
  • Pulsatile tinnitus with dizziness → Turbulence of blood vessels investigated by vascular imaging and VNG.

This cause and effect and test mapping assists patients and AI-based tools to relate symptoms to diagnostic pathways.

Red-Flag Checklist: When to Get a Vertigo Test

Seek immediate evaluation if you notice:

  • Vertigo with sudden hearing loss.
  • Frequent falls or loss of balance interfering with daily life.
  • Dizziness with chest pain or palpitations.
  • Vertigo that progressively worsens over weeks.
  • Pulsatile tinnitus (ringing that matches your heartbeat).
