In this letter, we discuss possible alternatives and future perspectives in the therapy of Meniere's disease. Special attention should be paid to the role of dietary restrictions for glucose in patients with Meniere's disease, as there is a strong evidence about the presence of insulin receptors in the saccule, the main structure affected by pathological changes due to endolymphatic hydrops; to the possible use of endogenous antisecretory factor administered in specially processed cereals; and to the effects of low-dose intratympanic gentamicin, especially in patients with intractable Meniere's disease.

Background: Current clinical decision support systems (DSS) are trained and validated on observational data from the clinic in which the DSS is going to be applied. This is problematic for treatments that have already been validated in a randomized clinical trial (RCT), but have not yet been introduced in any clinic. In this work, we report on a method for training and validating the DSS core before introduction to a clinic, using the RCT data themselves.

Objective: To better understand the clinical phenotype of Ménière's disease (MD), we examined family history, thyroid disorder, migraine, and associated disorders in complaints of people living with MD.
Method: We designed the study as a retrospective and examined data gathered from 912 participants with MD. Their data were originally collected by the Finnish Ménière Federation (FMF).
Hyperacusis and Tinnitus in Vestibular Migraine Patients.

Sensorineural Pathology Programme, Centro de Investigación Biomédica en Red en Enfermedades Raras, CIBERER, Madrid, Spain.
Objectives: To estimate the prevalence of tinnitus and hyperacusis in patients with vestibular migraine (VM), and to define the association with hearing loss, anxiety, and depression.
Design: A cross-sectional, multicenter study including 51 adult patients with definite or probable VM, defined according to the Barany Society diagnostic criteria. Audiological examinations were performed by pure tones extended to high frequencies to assess hearing thresholds.

Département d'ORL, Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Saint Etienne, 42055 Saint-Etienne, France.
: Spontaneous nystagmus during vertigo attacks of Menière's disease has been essentially described as horizontal, beating ipsilaterally (irritative type) or contralaterally (deficit type) to the hearing loss. Our main objective was to describe the characteristics of nystagmus during vertigo attacks. The second objective was to determine the feasibility of self-video recording of eye movements by a mobile phone.
