Background: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic neurological disease that affects brain and spinal cord. The infratentorial region contains the cerebellum and brainstem. Vestibular evoked myogenic potentials (VEMPs) are short-latency myogenic responses. Cervical vestibular evoked myogenic potential (cVEMP) is a manifestation of vestibulocolic reflex and ocular vestibular evoked myogenic pote...

introduction: vestibular evoked myogenic potential (vemp) has recently been broadly studied in vestibular disorders. as it is evoked by loud sound stimulation, even mild conductive hearing loss may affect vemp results. bone-conducted (bc) stimulus is an alternative stimulation for evoking this response. this study aims to assess the characteristics of bc-vemp in different groups of patients.   ...

background and aim: creatine is an energy-supplying protein in neuromuscular system with a protective role in relieving neurological symptoms. since the enzymes and other mechanism involved in the conversion of creatine in the inner ear and vestibular nuclei are found in abundance, the aim of this study was to measure the effects of creatine on cervical vestibular evoked myogenic potentials (cv...

background and aim: autoimmune inner ear disease (aied) may accompany certain systemic conditions, such as rheumatoid arth­ritis, and manifest audiovestibular dysfunction. this study aimed to compare the vestibular function between rheumatoid arthritis (ra) patients and normal subjects using cervical vestibular-evoked myogenic potentials and caloric tests. methods: in this cross-sectional study...

background: rheumatoid arthritis (ra) is an autoimmune systemic disease. most common autoimmune diseases are multisystem disorders that may also present with otological manifestations, and autoimmune inner ear disease accompanied by vestibular dysfunction. this study aimed to compare the vestibular function between ra patients and normal subjects using cervical vestibular evoked myogenic potent...

background: the incomplete maturation of brain in preterm children results in long-term neurodevelopmental impairment. this study aimed to investigate the static balance function in children with a history of preterm birth. methods: participants were 31 preterm children including 21 moderately preterm (mpt), 10 very preterm (vpt), and 20 term children aged 5.5 and 6.5 years. the cervical vestib...

PURPOSE To characterize the recording and analyze the results of the combined cervical and ocular vestibular evoked myogenic potential in individuals without hearing and vestibular complaints. METHODS In this study, 30 individuals without hearing complaints and hearing within normal limits were evaluated. Data were collected through the simultaneous recording of cervical and ocular vestibular...

background: ménière’s disease  has been  remained  as a difficult therapeutic  challenge. the  present  study aimed to   determine    the effects of  one-shot low-dosage intratympanic   gentamicin   on  vertigo control, auditory outcomes  and  findings of computerized  dynamic posturography  and   vestibular  evoked  myogenic potentials in patients with unilateral ménière’s disease. methods: in...

  Background: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune systemic disease. Most common autoimmune diseases are multisystem disorders that may also present with otological manifestations, and autoimmune inner ear disease accompanied by vestibular dysfunction. This study aimed to compare the vestibular function between RA patients and normal subjects using cervical vestibular evoked myogenic...

INTRODUCTION The vestibular evoked myogenic potential is a potential of mean latency that measures the muscle response to auditory stimulation. This potential can be generated from the contraction of the sternocleidomastoid muscle and also from the contraction of extraocular muscles in response to high-intensity sounds. This study presents a combined or simultaneous technique of cervical and oc...
