The prognosis depends on the source of the vertigo. Vertigo caused by problems in the inner ear, while usually self-limited, in some cases can become completely incapacitating. The use of drugs and rehabilitation exercises are the mainstay of treatment. Most commonly this will make the symptoms completely go away or make the condition tolerable. The prognosis of vertigo from a brain lesion depends on the amount of damage done to the central nervous system. All vertigo caused by a brain lesion needs emergency evaluation by a neurologist and Video electroencephalogram.
