Prevalence and Risk Factors of Self-reported Dizziness in Post-9/11 Service Members and Veterans.

Self-reported dizziness was prevalent in this sample of service members and Veterans. Probable TBI history, with or without blast exposure, was associated with dizziness, but blast exposure without TBI history was not. This suggests that treatment guidelines for TBI-related dizziness may not need to be tailored to the injury mechanism. However, future efforts should be directed toward the understanding of the pathophysiology of TBI on self-reported dizziness, which is fundamental to the design of treatment strategies.
