Patients referred to an tertiary otorhinolarynglogical clinic due to dizziness will be invited to participate in the study. The aims are to examine the prevalence, extent and distribution of musculoskeletal pain in patients with prolonged dizziness, and to investigate the associations between musculoskeletal pain, dizziness symptoms, psychological and physical function and health-related quality of life. Furthermore, the aim is to monitor the natural course of the dizziness symptoms and functional status in these patients, and examine risk factors for prolonged disability after 6 and 12 months. The hypothesis is that muscle pain and distress at baseline may be independently associated with prolonged complaints at follow-up. Finally, patients who still are dizzy and have pain after 12 months will be invited to participate in one of two group interventions a) modified vestibular rehabilitation and b) virtual reality / exergaming. The interventions will be feasibility studies with a pre-post design.
