CKS is no longer commissioned by the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE). NICE remains committed to providing a replacement service for CKS and is currently reviewing its options. In the meantime, although CKS content is now not being maintained, it still remains relevant and will continue to be made available. CKS content was generated under a programme of topic creation and update.

Meniere's disease - How up-to-date is this topic?
Changes
Version 1.2, revision planned in 2011.
Last revised in October 2007
January 2010 — minor update. Additional text regarding use of promethazine teoclate in pregnancy added. Issued in January 2010.
January 2008 — minor update. References corrected in the Prevalence section. Issued in January 2008.
June to October 2007 — converted from PRODIGY guidance to CKS topic structure. The evidence-base has been reviewed in detail, and recommendations are more clearly justified and transparently linked to the supporting evidence.
The key message about diagnosing Meniere's disease is more explicit in that the diagnosis can only be confirmed by referral to Ear, Nose, and Throat (ENT) services. While awaiting referral, attacks of Meniere's disease–like symptoms may have to be managed in primary care.
