Abstract

Abstract
Background Vertigo is a hallucination feeling of the body or surroundings spinning. Disorders of
the vestibular system is the most common cause, with an incidence of 80.5 percent. The vestibular
system plays an important role in postural control and regulating the autonomic function.
Therefore, patients with chronic dizziness often demonstrated postural instability and
Previous research found the relationships between vestibular vertigo and psychiatric disorders.
The 3 most common psychiatric disorders are depression (17.4%), followed by anxiety disorder
and obsessive-compulsive disorder. Psychiatric conditions had a negative effect on treatment
outcome as it could induce dizziness as well.
Objectives To study the relationship between chronic vertigo and obsessive–compulsive disorder.
Methods 44 patients with chronic vertigo and 44 healthy volunteers performed the FOCI-T test.
The Chi square was used to analyze the relationship between chronic vertigo and obsessive–
compulsive disorder.
Results Based on the FOCI-T test, 34% of the patients in the chronic vertigo group had high risk of
developing OCD (FOCI-T >5). However, no significant difference was found when compared to
healthy group which has 18% with high risk.
Conclusion Chronic vertigo has no relationship with the obsessive–compulsive disorder.
Keywords: Chronic vertigo, Obsessive-Compulsive disorder
