Vertigo: 300,000 people affected in France, a day of discussions on November 23

Everything you always wanted to know about dizziness but never dared to ask, itFor once it will be possible in Marseille (but also remotely by Zoom) on Saturday November 23, 2024. This unique meeting in France (and free) between researchers and patients is organized by the “ePatient” association chaired by Dr Maya Elzière, ENT doctor responsible for the “vertigo” consultation at the European hospital (Marseille) who also developed the Apo Vertiges application (also completely free) allowing better collaboration between patients and doctors.

This special dizziness day which will take place in the Marseille capital constitutes a privileged opportunity for exchanges allowing the questions of those who suffer from balance disorders and/or dizziness to be compared with the answers of various French scientists with renowned works. On the guest list, Dr Michel Toupet, Parisian ENT and one of the best experts in pathology, but also many neuroscience researchers from Marseille and Toulouse (Dr Liliane Borel, Dr Christophe Lopez, Dr Alexandra Severac, Dr Christian Chabbert, Dr Brahim Tighilet) without forgetting Professor Paul Avan (PU-PH of Biophysics, Clermont-Ferrand) and Professor Pierre Denise (PU-PH of physiology, Caen).

The symptom “vertigo” is very common in France

The day which will end with music has a specific objective: to create an exchange in a friendly atmosphere both to allow patients to learn about the latest advances in research and to give researchers the opportunity to meet dizzying people with their questions and their suffering.

For the record, the symptom “vertigo” is very common and affects 300,000 people in France. Third cause of consultation in general medicine, it is often disabling and invisible outside of crises.
