Printable 6-Question Visual Vertigo Scale PDF

The 6-question Visual Vertigo Analogue Scale helps show how much certain places or activities make someone feel dizzy. This tool cannot diagnose the cause of dizziness, but it can help clinicians and care-seekers better understand dizziness symptoms.

Why use the 6-Question Visual Vertigo Scale?

The 6-question Visual Vertigo Scale helps clinicians understand how visually busy places or activities affect a person’s dizziness. Some patients feel worse in places with a lot of movement, patterns, lights, screens, or crowds. This tool can provide useful context beyond vestibular testing alone. It may be helpful when evaluating patients with visually induced dizziness, visual motion sensitivity, vestibular disorders, migraine-related dizziness, persistent dizziness, or difficulty tolerating busy environments. It can also be used to track patient-reported change over time.

Common Clinical Uses

Clinicians may use the 6-question Visual Vertigo Scale to:

  • Assess dizziness triggered by visually busy environments

  • Identify places or activities that increase symptoms

  • Support baseline documentation and care planning

  • Guide vestibular rehabilitation goals related to visual motion sensitivity

  • Measure patient-reported change over time

  • Document functional progress during treatment
