Alexey Borisov
Neurologist, neuro-otologist, and science communicator
I am a neurologist and neuro-otologist specializing in
dizziness, balance disorders, and diseases of the vestibular
system.
I work at the Faculty Clinics of Irkutsk State Medical
University, Russia, where I lead a specialized clinical
service for patients with dizziness and balance disorders.
What I do
My clinical work focuses on diagnosing and treating patients
with vertigo, persistent dizziness, imbalance, and other
vestibular symptoms.
Many of my patients have experienced symptoms for months or
years before receiving a specific diagnosis. My aim is to
identify the disorder underlying the symptoms and select an
appropriate, evidence-based treatment strategy.
Clinical practice
Diagnosis and treatment of dizziness, vertigo, imbalance,
tinnitus, and vestibular disorders.
Clinical research
Study of persistent, post-traumatic, positional,
migraine-related, and functional dizziness.
Medical education
Teaching physicians neuro-otological examination, positional
testing, evaluation of nystagmus, and clinical vestibular
diagnostics.
Science communication
Creation of clear and accessible educational materials about
neurology, dizziness, headache, tinnitus, and balance
disorders.
Clinical and research interests
- Post-traumatic dizziness
- Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo
- Vestibular migraine
- Persistent postural-perceptual dizziness
- Vestibular rehabilitation
- Diagnostic overlap between vestibular disorders
I am particularly interested in patients whose symptoms
cannot be fully explained by a single diagnosis and in
situations where several disorders contribute to persistent
dizziness.
Medical education and public communication
Alongside my clinical and research work, I create educational
materials for patients and healthcare professionals.
My YouTube channel on neurology has an audience of more than
500,000 subscribers. I also publish educational content on
Telegram, Instagram, VK, and the VertigoNet website.
My goal is to explain neurological and vestibular disorders
clearly, accurately, and without common myths about
dizziness.
Social media
Educational content about dizziness, balance disorders,
headache, tinnitus, and clinical neurology:
Professional contact
I welcome professional communication, educational projects,
and potential research collaboration.
