AB - Objective This study aimed to assess the current clinical use and awareness of the "Korean Medicine Clinical Practice Guideline for Dizziness (KM-CPG-Dizziness)" among Korean Medicine doctors (KMDs), and to identify practical needs and directions for its future revision.
Methods A cross-sectional online survey was conducted among 877 KMDs with clinical experience in treating dizziness, recruited through the Association of Korean Medicine. The survey included 54 items(37 main items and 17 conditional sub-items) covering demographic information, awareness and utilization of KM-CPG-Dizziness, diagnostic and treatment practices, and perceived needs for guideline revision. Descriptive statistics and chi-square tests were used to analyze the relationship between CPG utilization and clinical behaviors.
Result Among respondents, 44.5% were aware of the KM-CPG-Dizziness, and 67.7% of them used it at least occasionally.
Approximately 68.8% perceived a high need for revision, and 74.7% expressed strong willingness to use the revised version.
The most requested improvements were in diagnostic(25.9%) and treatment(27.5%) sections. Significant differences were found by institution type and CPG utilization level. CPG users were more likely to conduct differential diagnosis for central, peripheral, and non-vestibular dizziness. Awareness and treatment experience of newer diagnostic concepts such as Persistent Postural-Perceptual Dizziness(PPPD) were also significantly higher among CPG users.
Conclusion Although current utilization of the KM-CPG for Dizziness is limited, there is substantial demand for revision with enhanced practical applicability. The findings provide evidence-based directions for developing a more clinically relevant guideline that addresses real-world practice needs.
