Rotation of the drum elicited optokinetic nystagmus, and it also produced a sense of self-rotation (circular vection). The direction of the sensed rotation was opposite to that of the direction of rotation of the visual field.[fauquierent.blogspot.com]

He put me on an anti seizure/migraine medication, AcetaZOLAMIDE (125 MG), once a day for the first 10 days. He said to also keep the Valium on board for the first three days.[thehouseofwhimsy.blogspot.com]
Overview The author explains the clinical presentation, pathophysiology, diagnostic workup, and management of mal de debarquement syndrome.[medlink.com]
An extensive workup, consisting of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) brain (Figure 1 ), video-nystagmography (VNG), oculomotor testing, positional testing, and audiogram were all normal.[cureus.com]
Many had completed neurologic and otologic workups including MRIs. These studies were generally normal. Treatment Procedure The clinical treatment has been detailed in our previous study ( 1 ).[frontiersin.org]
We will provide you with specific instructions if the home treatment is necessary when you return home. The home treatment is individually tailored based on the results of lab treatments.[labs.icahn.mssm.edu]

The underlying neural mechanisms are unknown, and to date there have been no effective treatments for this condition.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Though not measured, the patient noted during treatment she was symptom free for the duration of every 4 min treatment session, including the initial trial of counterclockwise treatments.[academic.oup.com]
Prognosis Many people do feel unsteady for a few minutes but the symptoms of mal de debarquement syndrome can persist for more than thirty days and sometimes for years.[mddk.com]

We undertook a patient survey to better define MDD, to understand the etiology or mechanism of this disorder, and to seek better prevention and treatment options.[doi.org]
These tests are important in excluding other etiologies for the patient’s symptoms. Standard Therapies Treatment MDD is very difficult to treat, with little effectiveness of most treatments.[rarediseases.org]

Epidemiology The condition is thought to be under-reported in the medical literature. A study of 27 cases, conducted by Timothy C Hain in 1999, noted all but one patient to be female.[ipfs.io]
This could be due to the epidemiological characteristics of MdDS patients, as the average age of onset is in most cases occurring in the late 40s [ 10, 20 ].[future-science.com]

However, more research is needed to evaluate the actual effect of estrogen on MdDS pathophysiology.[frontiersin.org]
Hence, preventing MDDS is also an area of active concern. Once again, possible prevention is largely speculative, but medications which diminish the response of the vestibular system may be useful.[checkorphan.org]
Preventing Occurrences of MDDS While MDDS usually eventually disappears, it also more often than not seems to return once a former MDDS sufferer takes another long boat or plane trip. Hence, preventing MDDS is also an area of active concern.[etete.com]

Prevention of MdDS Medications taken prior and during boat travel might prevent development of MdDS. According to Cha and others (2009), having migraine increases the probability of recurrent MdDS.[dizziness-and-balance.com]
In general, one might consider treatments aimed at preventing MDD and treatments aimed at ameliorating the effects of MDD once it has occurred. We know of no studies to date regarding prevention of MDD through medication.[doi.org]
