Plain Language Summary: Ménière's Disease.

Abstract

This plain language summary explains Ménière's (pronounced men-yerz) disease (MD) to patients. The summary applies to patients aged 18 years and older with a suspected diagnosis of definite or probable MD. It is based on the 2020 "Clinical Practice Guideline: Ménière's Disease." This guideline uses published research to best advise health care providers and patients on the history and physical examination of patients with MD and how to diagnose and treat them. The guideline includes recommendations that are explained in this summary. Recommendations may not apply to every patient but can be used to facilitate shared decision making between patients and their health care providers.
