MATERIALS and METHODS: Caloric tests, cervical vestibular evoked myogenic potentials (cVEMPs), and SVV deviations were studied in a group, including 20 patients with migraine without aura (MoA), 24 patients with vestibular migraine (VM), 20 patients with tension-type headache (TTH), and 30 healthy controls. SVV deviations were measured using a translucent bucket. The procedure was repeated 10 t...

BACKGROUND Evidence of serotonergic involvement in vestibular pathway contributions to migraine and balance disorders is compelling. Serotonergic 5-HT1B and 5-HT1D receptors are expressed extensively in inner ear ganglia of monkeys and rats. The serotonergic 5-HT1F receptor is also a target of triptans. This study describes its distribution in vestibular and trigeminal ganglia of monkeys. MET...

UNLABELLED Migraine and vertigo are common disorders, with lifetime prevalences of 16% and 7% respectively, and co-morbidity around 3.2%. Vestibular syndromes and dizziness occur more frequently in migraine patients. We investigated bedside clinical signs indicative of vestibular dysfunction in migraineurs. OBJECTIVE To test the hypothesis that vestibulo-ocular reflex, vestibulo-spinal reflex...

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 ho...

Migraine is associated with enhanced motion sickness susceptibility and can cause episodic vertigo [vestibular migraine (VM)], but the mechanisms relating migraine to these vestibular symptoms remain uncertain. We tested the hypothesis that the central integration of rotational cues (from the semicircular canals) and gravitational cues (from the otolith organs) is abnormal in migraine patients....

Abstract Background Activities of daily living (ADLs) are activities oriented toward taking care one’s own body independently. Vestibular Disorder Daily Living Scale (VADL) includes 28 questions designed to specifically assess the effects different vestibular disorders on and validity reliability Arabic version VADL applying it severity attacks related most common episodic disorders. The was di...

BACKGROUND Recent studies have extended our understanding of the pathophysiology, natural course, and treatment of vestibular vertigo. The relative frequency of the different forms is as follows: benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) 17.1%; phobic vestibular vertigo 15%; central vestibular syndromes 12.3%; vestibular migraine 11.4%; Menière's disease 10.1%; vestibular neuritis 8.3%; bilat...
