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: 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...

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: 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 potent...

migraine is a neurologic disease, which often is associated with a unilateral headache. vestibular abnormalities are common in migraine. vestibular evoked myogenic potentials (vemps) assess otolith function in particular functional integrity of the saccule and the inferior vestibular nerve. we used vemp to evaluate if the migraine headache can affect vemp asymmetry parameters. a total of 25 pat...

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...

OBJECTIVES To show that short tone bursts (STBs) evoke myogenic potentials from the sternocleidomastoid muscle (SCM) that are of vestibular origin. DESIGN Evoked potential activity was recorded from the SCMs of normal volunteers and from patients with vestibulocochlear disorders. SETTING This outpatient study was conducted at the Department of Otolaryngology, University of Tokyo, Tokyo, Jap...

PURPOSE OF REVIEW This article reviews the literature on vestibular-evoked myogenic potential testing, a short latency electromyogram evoked by high acoustic stimuli and recorded via surface electrodes over the sternocleidomastoid muscle. Applications and refinements of this technique are described for different pathologies and in adults and children. RECENT FINDINGS Various techniques for el...

AIM To verify whether vestibular evoked myogenic potentials can present abnormalities in the affected ear and in the asymptomatic ear in patients with diagnosis of unilateral Ménière's disease. STUDY DESIGN Transversal cohort. MATERIAL AND METHOD The vestibular evoked myogenic potentials of 20 patients with unilateral Ménière's disease were analyzed. The selection of individuals was based o...
