ABSTRACT OBJECTIVE: This prospective study aimed to investigate the role of migraine in favouring the onset of persistent postural perceptual dizziness (PPPD) following paroxysmal positional vertigo (PPV). METHODS: A group of patients who came to our attention suffering of PPV with or without migraine and/or vestibular migraine (VM) was examined. Three months after the resolution, an ana mnestic research was conducted aimed at establishing whether any patient-related dizziness could meet the diagnostic criteria for PPPD. RESULTS: 12 of the 240 patients recruited met the diagnostic criteria for PPPD for an overall incidence of 5%, with 3 (1.85%) belonging to the non-migraine group and 9 (11.5%) to the migraine group. In the latter, 6 (28.6%) patients with VM and 3 (5.26%) without VM were affected. CONCLUSIONS: The study shows a significant increase of PPPD diagnosis in migraine compared to patients without migraine (p = 0.003). Within migraine there was a significant increase in those with VM compared to patients without VM (p = 0.0016). No difference emerged between patients without migraine and migraine patients without VM (p > 0.05). The presence of VM in patient's history, but not migraine without VM, appears to significantly increase the incidence of PPPD in patients with PPV.
