Sensory organization test and motor control test in patients with migraine and vestibular migraine

IntroductionIndividuals with migraine have a high prevalence of vestibular symptoms, such as dizziness and balance deficits. The presence aura frequency attacks are associated an increased risk these symptoms. Vestibular is subtype described in the appendix International Classification Headache Disorders (ICHD-III) along Committee for Bárány Society. However, evidence still lacking regarding how individuals affected when compared to non-vestibular migraine. ObjectiveTo evaluate through Dynamic Computerized Posturography, Sensory Organization Test (SOT) Motor Control (MCT) subgroups: MethodsNinety women aged between 18 55 years were evaluated, divided by ICHD diagnostic criteria, into two groups: (1) (GM); (2) (GMV). Posturography exam was performed EquiTest - NeuroCom® software equipment, using variables SOT MCT. Clinical characteristics migraine, symptoms number falls last year also evaluated. For statistical analysis, mean standard deviation used comparison groups, considering significance α = 0.05. groups on final score MCT latency during each test conditions multivariate analysis variance (MANOVA). ResultsThe GM had highest composite (M=74.0±9.7; MV=68.1±8.8; p=0.004), visual (M=79.5±17, 9; MV=70.8±16.5); p=0.01] (M=64.4±14.1; MV=54.4±14.4; p=0.02) than GMV. In addition, all patients GMV reported while GM, only 48.7% (p<0.001). (To see complete abstract, please, check out PDF).
