Vestibular findings in motion sickness

Background and Aim: Motion sickness (MS) is usually generated when there is a mismatch between the senses which serve balance. One of these senses is related to vestibular system, so it is highly possible that MS reflects in vestibular test results. But there are some conflicts in correlation between vestibular findings and MS. Thus, the objective of this study was to provide an overview of ves...

Motion sickness in migraine and vestibular disorders

Motion sickness is a syndrome provoked by sensory conflict that involves the vestibular system with symptoms resembling those of common neuro-otological disorders including vestibular neuritis (VN) and vestibular migraine (VM). By contrast, it is generally believed that bilateral vestibular failure (BVF) causes reduced motion sickness susceptibility. We investigate differences between these con...

Visual-vestibular habituation and balance training for motion sickness.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE This case report describes physical therapy for motion sickness in a 34-year-old woman. The purpose of the report is twofold: (1) to provide an overview of the literature regarding motion sickness syndrome, causal factors, and rationale for treatment and (2) to describe the evaluation and treatment of a patient with motion sickness. CASE DESCRIPTION AND OUTCOMES The pat...

Visual Vestibular Habituation as an Effective Treatment for Motion Sickness

Background: Motion sickness is a common problem experienced by much the population. Clinical treatments at this time are primarily pharmacological. Currently it is known that multiple exposures to motion sickness triggers can, over time, result in habituation and the patient can become free of symptoms. This repeated recurrence of sickness is not desirable or practical to daily living. Limited ...

A primer of vestibular function, spatial disorientation, and motion sickness.

Vertigo and motion sickness. Part I: vestibular anatomy and physiology.

Control of the symptoms of vertigo and motion sickness requires consideration of the neurophysiology of areas both intrinsic and extrinsic to the vestibular system proper. We review the essential anatomy and physiology of the vestibular system and the associated vomiting reflex.
