Can Sleep Quality be Associated With Positional Vertigo in Children With Dizziness?
Article in Brain and behavior, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectiveVertigo and dizziness are more common than expected in children and adolescents. The sleep quality of children with dizziness is unknown. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between sleep quality, vertigo severity, and duration of dizziness in children with positional vertigo.
methodsThis study consisted of 26 children with dizziness (19 female, 7 male, and mean age 14.38 ± 2.02 years). Positional tests were performed using video Frenzel glasses. The participants' sleep quality was assessed using the Sleep Disturbance Scale for Children (SDSC), the severity of vertigo was assessed using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS), and the functional balance was measured using the Pediatric Balance Scale.
resultsWhile 58% of children with dizziness (15/26) had good sleep quality, 42% (11/26) had poor sleep quality. A significant positive correlation was found between the dizziness durations and SDSC scores (p = 0.03, r
conclusionAssessing sleep quality is an essential component of the clinical vestibular evaluation in children with dizziness. Inquiring about sleep patterns and disturbances can provide valuable insights into factors affecting their overall well-being. Enhancing sleep quality may contribute to a reduction in the frequency and severity of vertigo and dizziness symptoms, thereby improving daily functioning and overall quality of life.
