The Mean Vertigo Score (MVS) Outcome Scale and Its Use in Clinical Research for Quantifying Vestibular Disorders.

ABSTRACT: Introduction: The Mean Vertigo Score (MVS) is a composite score for defining the burden of disease of patients suffering from vestibular disorders. It has been used in clinical research for about 30 years. This study investigates discriminant validity of the MVS and describes structural relationships of the 12 single criteria used for construction of the MVS. Materials and Methods: The statistical analyses are based on the raw data of an earlier conducted randomized, doubleblind, placebo-controlled clinical trial, which compared the following four randomized treatment groups: a fixed combination of cinnarizine and dimenhydrinate (Arlevert), two groups with only one of the two study drugs, and a group with placebo.
