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 vestibular migraine diagnostics.
Methods: A total number of 62 subjects were included in the study, 32 of them belonging to a group of patients suffering from vestibular migraine (VM), while other 30 were in a control group of healthy subjects. Information was collected during the diagnostic evaluation. General and otoneurological history of patients and bedside tests, audiological results, videonystagmography and cervical vestibular evoked myogenic potentials (cVEMP) were made.
Results: There was a difference in an interaural ratio of amplitudes in the experimental and control groups, but it was not found to be clinically significant. By ToneBurst 500 Hz method, the interaural amplitude ratio higher than 35% was measured in 46.97% subjects, while the response was totally unilaterally missing in 28.8% patients.
Conclusion: Even the sophisticated method as cVEMP does not give the ultimate result confirming the vestibular migraine diagnosis, and neither do other diagnostic methods. cVEMP result can contribute to the completion of full mosaic of vestibular migraine diagnostics.

Objective: This study investigated the role of specialty concussion care on the clinical course of recovery in adolescent patients who initiated care beyond 3 weeks from their injury.
Design: Retrospective analysis of protracted recovery groups was based on the number of days in which a patient presented for care postinjury: early (22-35 days), middle (36-49 days), and late (50+ days).
Setting: Sports medicine and orthopedics clinic.
Vestibular Migraine Patient Assessment Tool and Handicap Inventory (VM-PATHI) : A narrative review.
Headache

Department of Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, University of California - San Francisco School of Medicine, San Francisco, California, USA.
Background: Vestibular migraine (VM) has a wide range of clinical presentations that can have a significant negative impact on quality of life. Currently, there is no objective test available to confirm the diagnosis or measure the severity of VM. The only available tools for assessing disease severity are patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs), such as the Dizziness Handicap Inventory (DHI).

Objective: This study aimed to develop and evaluate a novel software tool for robust analysis of the Visually Enhanced Vestibular-Ocular Reflex (VVOR) and video head impulse test (vHIT) saccades.
Methods: A retrospective study was conducted on 94 patients with Meniere's Disease (MD), unilateral vestibular hypofunction (UVH), and vestibular migraine (VM). The MATLAB-based VVOR Analysis System and Saccades All in One software were utilized for data processing.
Short-term efficacy of right-to-left shunt closure in patients with vestibular migraine.
Front Neurol
December 2024
Department of Neurology, The First Hospital of Hebei Medical University, Shijiazhuang, China.
Objective: This study aims to evaluate the short-term efficacy of right-to-left shunt closure in vestibular migraine patients, and compare the efficacy between patent foramen ovale (PFO) closure and pulmonary arteriovenous malformation (PAVM) embolization. Additionally, the study identifies factors related to surgical outcomes.
Methods: Forty-one patients with vestibular migraine and medium to large right-to-left shunts underwent surgery: PFO closure, PAVM embolization, or both.

Article Synopsis
- This study explores the use of artificial intelligence to enhance the diagnostic accuracy of diseases related to vertigo, focusing on two main tasks involving classification of BPPV and non-BPPV patients.
- Leveraging machine learning, specifically the XGBoost model, the researchers achieved high sensitivity and accuracy rates in distinguishing between various vertigo conditions in a cohort of nearly 3,000 patients.
- The findings suggest that implementing such AI systems can significantly improve diagnostic processes and aid clinical decision-making, especially in settings with limited resources.
