This study aims to establish a set of normal values for the objective evaluation of ocular movements using videonystagmography (VNG). Thirty individuals aged between 18 and 50 years, with no history of vestibular symptoms, recurrent headaches, central nervous system (CNS) symptoms, or cochlear symptoms, were selected. The assessment of five types of ocular movements (saccades, pursuit, optokinetic tests, spontaneous nystagmus, and gaze tests) were conducted using VNG.
