Objective (Background): Vestibular evoked myogenic potentials (VEMPs) are used to evaluate function of the vestibular system. Sound evoked triceps myogenic potentials (SETMPs) have not been studied extensively and differ anatomically from sternocleidomastoid (SCM) VEMPs because the efferent pathway for SETMPs traverses the spinal cord. The aim of this study was to examine whether SETMPs in peop...

OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to evaluate latencies and corrected p13-n23 cervical vestibular evoked myogenic potentials (cVEMP) and n10-p13 ocular vestibular evoked myogenic potentials (oVEMP) amplitudes in patients with relapsing remitting multiple sclerosis (MS). METHODS This was a prospective, case-control study. Thirty patients with MS and 15 healthy controls were included. Cervic...

OBJECTIVES This study aims to determine the normal values for ocular vestibular evoked myogenic potentials in response to air conducted stimuli in healthy adults. PATIENTS AND METHODS Thirty-six healthy adult participants with no ear complaints were enrolled. Ocular vestibular evoked myogenic potential tests were performed to all participants. Latency and amplitude values of the waves were re...

Auditory neuropathy spectrum disorder is a clinical disorder where the outer hair cell functioning is intact but the functioning of the auditory nerve is affected. Since, the 8(th) nerve is constituted by both the auditory and vestibular branch of nerve fibers, there are chances that the vestibular nerve might also be affected. Hence, the current study was carried out in order to determine the ...

AIM To investigate differences in vestibular evoked myogenic potentials (VEMP) results with patients suffering from vestibular migraine and healthy people, taking into consideration values of threshold and latency of occurrence of the characteristic wave complex, size of amplitude, and interaural amplitude ratio. According to the results, determine the importance and usefulness of VEMP in vesti...

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 potenti...

UNLABELLED Vestibular evoked myogenic potentials are vestibulocervical reflexes resulting from sacculus stimulation with strong intensity sounds. Normality parameters are necessary for young normal individuals, using low frequency stimuli, which configure the most sensitive region of this sensory organ. AIM To establish vestibular evoked myogenic potential standards for low frequency stimulat...
