    The Dizziness Handicap Inventory is a 25-item questionnaire that measures the impact of dizziness on physical, functional, and emotional well-being. Patients indicate whether each statement applies to them "always", "sometimes", or "no". Scores are totaled for each subscale and overall, with higher scores indicating greater perceived disability from dizziness. The questionnaire is a subjective measure that can track patient-perceived changes over time and help predict conditions like benign paroxysmal positional vertigo.
