More patients with vertigo turning to social media for advice, says study
The New Indian Express Hubballi
|December 30, 2024
PEOPLE suffering from vertigo in India are increasingly turning to social media to seek information and even treatment and support, a latest study has found.
Vertigo is the feeling that you, or your environment, is moving or spinning.
The study also found that most vertigo patients (51 per cent) turned to micro-blogging site X (formerly Twitter) as a platform to seek advice regarding treatment options. In contrast, a smaller group, comprising 46 per cent, sought information through medical forums, said the study published in International Journal of Clinical Skills. YouTube was another favoured platform.
