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...

background :aging can cause loss of balance, which may lead to physical and psychological problems. as the role of the otolith organs in maintaining postural stability has been emphasized in recent years, the present study investigated the effect of aging on saccular function using cervical vestibular evoked myogenic potentials (cvemp).   methods : the participants were assigned into two groups...

Abstract Background Vertigo and dizziness are very common complaints that may be related to epilepsy. The purpose of this study was assess vestibulo-spinal linear vestibulo-ocular function in epileptic patients the inter ictal period. current observational carried out audio-vestibular unit Menoufia University. Subjects were divided into two groups: control group included 30 normal individuals n...

BACKGROUND Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic neurological disease that affects brain and spinal cord. The infratentorial region contains the cerebellum and brainstem. Vestibular evoked myogenic potentials (VEMPs) are short-latency myogenic responses. Cervical vestibular evoked myogenic potential (cVEMP) is a manifestation of vestibulocolic reflex and ocular vestibular evoked myogenic potenti...

Superior semicircular canal dehiscence (SSCD) is a rare entity recently described whose typical clinical symptomatology represented by dizziness triggered variation of pressure. We reported case SSCD which was diagnosed thanks to computed tomography (CT) scan the petrous bone conducted systematically in front mixed deafness with normal eardrum. The bilateral and revealed on left side perception...

background and aim: creatine is an energy-supplying protein in neuromuscular system with a protective role in relieving neurological symptoms. since the enzymes and other mechanism involved in the conversion of creatine in the inner ear and vestibular nuclei are found in abundance, the aim of this study was to measure the effects of creatine on cervical vestibular evoked myogenic potentials (cv...

introduction:   the daf is a large persian frame drum used as a musical instrument in both popular and classical music which can induce a percussive sound at low frequencies (146–290 hz) with peaks of up to 130 dbspl. the percussive sounds have a power distribution in the region of saccular sensitivity. in view of the saccular stimulation by sound in humans, we decided to use cervical vestibula...

OBJECTIVE To investigate saccular function using vestibular evoked myogenic potentials in children with congenital or early acquired sensorineural hearing loss. DESIGN Retrospective cohort study. SETTING Pediatric tertiary referral center. PATIENTS Twenty-three children with bilateral sensorineural hearing loss (severe to profound in 22 cases, moderate in 1 case) underwent evaluation of s...

Background and Aim: Caffeine at low doses blocks adenosine receptors. These receptors are present in all parts of the body including auditory and vestibular system. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of caffeine on cervical vestibular evoked myogenic potential (cVEMP). Methods: In this interventional double-blind study, 40 cases (20 females and 20 males) aged 18-25 years were randomly ass...
