Patients diagnosed with cervical dizziness
A patient-specific, comprehensive clinical examination was performed in each patient. In addition, a detailed patient history was obtained from each patient. To diagnose CD, Head- Neck Differentiation Test (HNDT) and Cervical Torsion Test (CTT) were performed using Frenzel lenses. Patients that were found to be positive in either of these two tests after the exclusion of other peripheral and central causes were diagnosed with cervical Dizziness.
exercise therapy
Priorities of the treatment included care and interventions to avoid inappropriate neck positions and to provide a regular exercise program for neck muscles and ergonomics training (ergonomic arrangements for desk setup, reading position, computer and mobile phone use, handcrafts, television watching, and pillow height). Of note, patients were advised to avoid cold exposure, particularly in the neck area (air-conditioned environments, wet hair, and holding the hair dryer too close to the scalp). Patients that did not show improvement after training and regular exercise were initiated on medical treatment after the second week and were given myorelaxant gel and oral tablets (diclofenac sodium) for the neck area.

Eligibility Criteria
Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.
Inclusion Criteria
* Inclusion criteria were as follows: pain on palpation in the neck area, neck stiffness, tension and tenderness in the neck muscles, and cervical movement limitation. All the patients included in the study had no history of a maneuver for dizziness, no history of ototoxic drug use, and had normal hearing.
Exclusion Criteria:
* Exclusion criteria included presence of benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV), Meniere's disease, migraine-associated vertigo, vertebrobasilar insufficiency, postural hypotension, a history of trauma to the cervical region, myofascial pain syndrome, and neurological, rheumatological, and systemic diseases. Additionally, patients detected with neck-related conditions (cervical spondylosis, cervical disc hernia, fracture, dislocation, spondylolisthesis, scoliosis) and fibromyalgia in cervical magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) were also excluded from the study.
