As acoustic stimulation, 95 dB nHL clicks and short tone bursts (500 Hz) were presented, while 3 mA (1 ms) short-duration galvanic stimuli were presented as electrical stimulation. Responses were recorded on the sternocleidomastoid muscles. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

As short-duration galvanic stimuli, a 3-mA (1 ms) electricalcurrent was presented [4,5]. [docslide.fr]

This usually presents in a variety of ways including, but not limited to, general dizziness at rest or with head turning, feelings of unsteadiness liking to being on a boat, or a sense of nausea similar to motions sickness. [physiologicnyc.com]

• Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo

  Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo, or BPPV One of the most common reasons people seek vestibular therapy is for the ever elusive, and always annoying, Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo, or BPPV. [physiologicnyc.com]

Treatment [ edit ] Treatment differs depending on the cause. Each cause has a different treatment, and may involve either medical treatment, surgery, or therapy. [en.wikipedia.org]

Patients will be randomized into 3 arms; 1) Placebo only, 2) Short corticosteroid treatment (3days) 3) Longer corticosteroid treatment (11 days). [clinicaltrials.gov]

These decreased in parallel with clinical improvement after immunomodulatory treatment. [jnnp.bmj.com]

The treatment options for various forms of BVH could be one of the following four lines of treatment: (a) Preventive treatment through prevention of ototoxicity, (b) therapeutic treatment through medical treatment of the causative underlying disease, [ejo.eg.net]

Abstract Generally, the prognosis of vestibular neuronitis is considered favorable due to vestibular compensation. [jstage.jst.go.jp]

One can predict prognosis based on the amount of damage done initially, modified by other factors such as age, and other medical problems. [theblackriver.net]

MRI Connects Vestibulopathy and Damage From Brain Injury (HealthDay News) — Damage to specific brain regions may be linked to the prognosis of concussion patients with vestibulopathy, according to a study published online April 14 in Radiology. [empr.com]
