To establish a new method for detecting vestibular function by testing cervical vestibular-evoked myogenic potential induced by galvanic vestibular stimulation in normal population. Twenty normal ears were tested for cervical vestibular evoked myogenic potential induced by galvanic vestibular stimulation. SPSS 18.0 software was used to analyze the obtained data. In all healthy subjects mastoid-forehead galvanic vestibular stimulation produced a positive-negative biphasic EMG responses on SCM ipsilateral to the cathodal electrode. The latency of p13 was（11.52±3.05） ms. The latency of n23 was（15.31±3.38） ms. The amplitude of p13-n23 was（40.55±27.93） μV. The interval of p13-n23 was（3.53±1.38） ms. The interaural asymmetry ratio（AR, %） of p13, n23 latency, the amplitude and interval were respectively（6.96±6.79）%, （6.47±5.93）%, （28.08±26.42）% and （16.61±11.11）%. There was no significant difference in all parameters between the right and left ears of all subjects. The value of cervical vestibular-evoked myogenic potential induced by galvanic vestibular stimulation in normal subjects can be established to explore methods for diagnosis, treatment and researching mechanism of auditory neuropathy and vestibular neuropathy.

Objective: This multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, crossover trial aimed to evaluate whether prolonged noisy galvanic vestibular stimulation improves body balance in patients with vestibulopathy.
Materials And Methods: This trial was registered in the Japan Pharmaceutical Information Center Clinical Trials Information registry (jRCT1080224083). Subjects were 20- to 85-year-old patients who had been unsteady for more than one year and whose symptoms had persisted despite more than six months of rehabilitation.

Verticality is the perception of what's upright relative to gravity. The vestibular system provides information about the head's orientation relative to gravity, while visual cues influence the perception of external objects' alignment with the vertical. According to Bayesian integration, the perception of verticality depends on the relative reliability of visual and vestibular cues.

Vestibular dysfunction has been reported as a potential cause in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS). However, it remained unclear how stochastic galvanic vestibular stimulation (GVS) affected kinetic performance of patients with AIS. This study aimed to investigate the effect of stochastic GVS on ground reaction forces (GRF) measures during obstacle negotiation among patients with AIS.

Introduction: Galvanic vestibular stimulation (GVS) is a simple, safe, and noninvasive method of neurostimulation that can be used to improve body balance. Several central nervous system diseases cause alterations in body balance, including HTLV-1-associated myelopathy (HAM).
Objective: To test GVS as a balance rehabilitation strategy for HAM.
In sensory perception, stochastic resonance (SR) refers to the application of noise to enhance information transfer, allowing for the sensing of lower-level stimuli. Previously, subjective-assessments identified SR in vestibular perceptual thresholds, assessed using a standard two alternative (i.e.
