Purpose: Masseter vestibular evoked myogenic potentials (mVEMP) involve the connection between the vestibular complex and trigeminal nerve nuclei. Given the theory that migraine is caused by increased activation of the trigeminal nerve, it is believed that mVEMP responses may have influenced in migraine patients.
Method: The study included 20 individuals with migraine and 20 healthy controls. Latency, amplitude, and interaural amplitude asymmetry ratio of mVEMP responses recorded in migraine patients were compared with control group.
Results: Considering the mVEMP normalization study conducted by Başöz et al. (2021) in a similar age group and in the same clinic, latency prolongation and amplitude decrease were observed in subjects with migraines. Migraine is considered a central pathology, as shown in the cervical and ocular VEMP (cVEMP/oVEMP) literature. No difference was observed in the interaural amplitude asymmetry ratio, which is important in peripheral pathologies. Additionally, when the number of pathological ears was examined in order to understand the total exposure, it was observed that the number of pathological ears was significantly higher in the migraine group.
Conclusion: In future studies, using mVEMP together with cVEMP and oVEMP tests, which allow evaluation of otolith organs and vestibular nuclei, will be valuable in determining the lesion location.

Introduction: Vestibular migraine (VM) is a subtype of migraine characterized by recurrent episodes of vertigo or dizziness, often accompanied by nausea, light and sound sensitivity, and other vestibular symptoms. It primarily affects females at a 5:1 ratio, with episodes lasting from minutes to 72 h, occurring with or without headaches. VM is one of the more frequent causes of recurrent vertigo, affecting around 1% to 2.

Objective: To investigate the effects of Zexie decoction on vestibular and auditory function in guinea pigs with endolymphatic hydrolysis induced by desmopressin. Methods: Sixty guinea pigs were randomly and evenly divided into four groups, each group has 15 guinea pigs: normal control group, DDAVP group, DDAVP modeling combined with Zexie Decoction group, and DDAVP combined with Double Zexie group. At 7 and 14 days, bone-conducted cervical vestibular evoked myogenic potential tests, auditory brainstem responses, and distortion-product otoacoustic emissions were conducted on each group of guinea pigs to evaluate their vestibular and auditory function quantitatively.

The vestibulo-autonomic interaction refers to the neural interplay between the vestibular and autonomic systems. In particular, the vestibular system plays an active role in adjusting blood distribution during movement and changes in posture, thereby complementing the baroreflex. This review summarizes recent clinical evidence highlighting the interaction between the vestibular and autonomic systems, including altered vestibular-evoked myogenic potentials in patients with postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome, orthostatic hypotension, and neurodegenerative disorders.

Objective: Vestibular evoked myogenic potential (VEMP) can be elicited using bone-conducted vibration (BCV) and air-conducted sound, with BCV VEMP typically associated with bilateral vestibular pathways. We employed a new acoustic masking method to obscure BCV VEMP, aiming to explore the feasibility of unilateral BCV VEMP testing.
Materials And Methods: Twenty healthy adults (20-37 years old; 10 males and 10 females) participated in the study.
