Introduction: Vestibular migraine (VM) is a prevalent vestibular disorder characterized by episodic vertigo. However, the relationship between photophobia and visual triggers in VM remains unexplored. We investigated the correlation of photophobia during the VM attack with interictal photosensitivity and visually triggering dizziness in patients with VM.

- Migraine is common and affects metabolic balance, leading researchers to explore how it influences serum levels of FGF-21 and GDF-15, which are linked to metabolic diseases.
- The study involved 221 migraine patients and 124 healthy individuals, measuring FGF-21 and GDF-15 levels and assessing migraine severity using various clinical tests.
- Results show higher levels of FGF-21 and GDF-15 in migraine patients, particularly in chronic migraine cases, and these levels correlate with the severity of migraine-related disability.
Background: The association between paroxysmal vertigo and right-to-left shunt (RLS) is rarely reported. This study investigates the prevalence and correlation of RLS in patients with different paroxysmal vertigo diseases.
Methods: Patients with paroxysmal vertigo from seven hospitals in China were included in this observational study between 2017 and 2021.
