BACKGROUND: Vestibular @entity2704 (VM) has gained recognition as a distinct clinical entity in recent years. The pathophysiology is unclear. Vestibular evoked myogenic potential (VEMP) is a validated method to test the vestibulocollic reflex and peripheral @entity56 to noise. The aim of our study was to evaluate the vestibular function and sensitivity in a series of VM @entity1 in comparison to ordinary @entity2704 ( @entity2704 ) @entity1 and healthy controls. METHODS: Thirty-seven @entity1 diagnosed with VM according to the Neuhauser criteria, 32 migraineurs, and 30 healthy @entity1 underwent VEMP testing (response and sound intensity threshold) and a @entity11535 susceptibility questionnaire. RESULTS: We found absence of unilateral or bilateral VEMP response at 90      dB normal hearing level (nHL) in 44% of the VM @entity1 , in 25% of the migraineurs, as compared to in 3% of the healthy controls (p      =      0.001). The sound intensity threshold and latencies were similar in all the groups. Migraineurs (VM   >   @entity2704 ) reported more @entity11535 than healthy controls (p      =         0.006). CONCLUSION: The results indicate more pathology in the VEMP circuitry in migraineurs than in healthy controls. We did not find support for peripheral @entity56 in terms of lower VEMP threshold among VM @entity1 , but they are more sensitive for motion triggers than other migraineurs.
