Idiopathic Bilateral Vestibulopathy

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]

    Topic Overview What is benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV)? Vertigo is the feeling that you are spinning or the world is spinning around you. Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo is caused by a problem in the inner ear. [healthlinkbc.ca]

About 20% of cases of bilateral vestibulopathy, however, remain “idiopathic” despite extensive diagnostic workup. 1 Prompted by studies on immune mediated sensorineural hearing loss, 2, 3 we previously demonstrated IgG antibodies against the membranous [jnnp.bmj.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]

This delayed diagnosis places patients at risk for unnecessary diagnostic tests and delayed initiation of treatment. [frontiersin.org]

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

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]

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]

Thus the prognosis of BV is less favourable than assumed. [epub.ub.uni-muenchen.de]

The etiology of BVP remains unclear in more than 50% of patients: in these cases neurodegeneration is assumed. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

We measured horizontal and vertical semicircular canal function using the video-head-impulse test (vHIT) and hypothesized that specific vHIT-patterns may be linked to certain etiologies. [zora.uzh.ch]
