Water-soluble coenzyme Q10 formulation (Q-TER(®)) in the treatment of presbycusis.

Conclusion: These preliminary data are encouraging for a larger clinical trial to collect additional evidence on the effect of Q-TER(®) in preventing the development of hearing loss in subjects with presbycusis.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficiency and applicability of a water-soluble formulation of CoQ10 (Q-TER(®)) in subjects with presbycusis.

Methods: A total of 60 patients with presbycusis were included and divided into three numerically equal groups.

Electronystagmography in migraine equivalent syndrome.

Objectives: The aim of the study was to determine the efficacy of electronystagmography testing in the diagnosis of vertigo in children with migraine equivalent syndrome.

Study Design: The investigation included 20 children with "migraine equivalent syndrome" (group A), characterized by benign paroxysmal vertigo of childhood. As a control group, 50 healthy children were identified.

Correlation between vestibulo-ocular reflex and optokinetic afternystagmus in normal subjects and in patients with vestibular system disorders.

Optokinetic afternystagmus follows optokinetic nystagmus as an expression of the central velocity storage integrator discharge and its fast phase is beating in the same direction as the previous optokinetic nystagmus. We investigated the correlation between vestibulo-ocular reflex and optokinetic afternystagmus in normal subjects and in patients with bilateral vestibular disorders. The aim of this study was to determine the possible role of optokinetic afternystagmus as a diagnostic test for identifying functional vestibular disorders.

Visual-vestibular interaction test in the diagnosis of vertigo in children.

Objective: The aim of this study has been to test to determine the diagnostic value of a visual-vestibular test with a rotatory cylindrical chamber in the diagnosis of peripheral and central vertigo in children.

Methods: Ten children affected by posttraumatic and migrainous vertigo were enrolled (group A): as a control group 10 healthy children were identified. All the children underwent to electronystagmography (ENG) recording: the children, head blocked, sat on a "Tonnies rotatory chair Pro model", which was placed in the middle of a rotatory cylindrical chamber (2 m in diameter and 1.
