Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study was conducted at China Medical University Hospital, Taiwan, between January 2019 and December 2023, with 345 patients diagnosed with dizziness and vertigo (ICD-10 codes R42 and H81). Patients received acupuncture in addition to standard Western medical care. The Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) was used to assess symptom severity before and after the acupuncture intervention. Secondary analyses explored the influence of ICD-10 classification, gender, and seasonality on treatment outcomes.
