概要	The Vertigo Symptom Scale (VSS) is a self-report questionnaire assessing the frequency and severity of vertigo and associated symptoms (nausea, lightheadedness, visual disturbance, head motion intolerance). Developed by Yardley et al. in 1992, the VSS measures symptom burden rather than handicap, making it distinct from disability-focused measures. The VSS is valuable for characterizing symptom clusters, monitoring symptom progression, and evaluating treatment response in vestibular and central dizziness disorders.	The Dizziness Handicap Inventory (DHI) is a 25-item self-report questionnaire designed to measure the functional, emotional, and physical effects of dizziness and balance disorders on daily life. Developed by Jacobson and Newman in 1990, it has become a standard tool for assessing dizziness-related handicap in clinical and research settings. The DHI is valuable for tracking disability progression and treatment response in vestibular patients.
