Neuropharmacology of Vestibular System Disorders
This work reviews the neuropharmacology of the vestibular system, with an emphasis on the mechanism of action of drugs used in the treatment of vestibular disorders. Otolaryngologists are confronted with a rapidly changing field in which advances in the knowledge of ionic channel function and synaptic transmission mechanisms have led to the development of new scientific models for the understan...
متن کاملNew insights into vestibular neuropharmacology: from bench to bedside.
Recent epidemiological investigations have highlighted the high prevalence of vestibular dysfunctions in the adult population and its association with aging. Despite a large and unmet medical need, the pharmaceutical options of targeted and efficient drugs to reduce the symptoms associated with vestibular deficits remains largely insufficient. This special issue of the Journal of Vestibular Res...

InTRoDUCTIon Here we present a bedside approach to patients with vestibular and cerebellar disease emphasizing clinical examination based on pathophysiology. The differentiation between peripheral and central vestibular disorders and precise anatomical localization within the cerebellum are emphasized. A number of specific manoeuvres are illustrated and evaluation of each of the different subcl...
متن کاملSeasonality in vestibular disorders.
Our objective in this study was to evaluate a causal relationship between vestibular pathological findings and climatic variations during the year (summer, autumn, winter, and spring). The study was conducted in a Brazilian clinic located in a tropical climate and having well-defined warm and cold weather. For this retrospective study, our outpatients were the subjects, and the diagnosis was ma...
