Article Synopsis
- - The study analyzed 415 patients with vestibular migraine (VM) through questionnaires and clinical exams, finding mean ages for headache and vertigo onset at 25 and 39 years, respectively.
- - Symptoms like tinnitus, aural fullness, and nausea were common, with over 94% experiencing tinnitus, while a significant portion had notable hearing issues and benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) or Meniere's disease (MD).
- - Younger patients reported more severe headaches, while older patients experienced greater vertigo severity; a family history of migraines was prevalent and linked to earlier onset of symptoms.
