Prognosis of Vertigo

The prognosis depends on the causes of vertigo. If it occurs due to problems in the inner ear, drugs and exercises are the main treatments available. Symptoms can be incapacitating while they last but may completely go away with treatment or at least make it tolerable. If vertigo is due to problems with the central nervous system, it will require surgery or drugs to correct it. Recovery depends on the extent of damage done to the nervous system.
