The change of vertigo-related handicap and related variables through multimodal psychosomatic inpatient treatment was evaluated in a clinical pilot trial in patients with functional vertigo and dizziness. We observed medium effects for the change of vertigo-related handicap and small effects for the change of somatization, mental health-related quality of life, and depression. Internal body-related locus of control at admission did not predict vertigo-related handicap at follow-up.
