Mal de Débarquement

MdD

This article, the second in a 3-part series, presents information about Mal de Debarquement syndrome (MDD, also known as disembarkment sickness) and presents a case study of a patient who was relieved of MDD symptoms. [hearingreview.com]

Depression and anxiety are not related to the condition even though some MDS patients may present with these conditions. They are a consequence of debilitation, our patient however did not present with these conditions [14]. [hindawi.com]

    One blustery, winter night I lay awake as my raft bounced up and down on colossal swells. Gripping the bed, I tried to stop resisting the motion, telling myself over and over again I wasn’t really in danger. Not an easy task. [liferaftmdds.com]

  • Seizure

    […] may reoccur following another motion experience or during periods of stress or illness. [1] Although there is no known cure for mal de debarquement syndrome, there is evidence that some patients have responded positively to antidepressants or anti- seizure [rarediseases.info.nih.gov]

    Is there a correlations with particular medication intake (e.g. for migraine, seizures, psychiatric conditions) and prevalence of MdDS ? The following are some recent links. An abstract concerning the research project in Ohio is here. [dizziness-and-balance.com]

  • Pendular Nystagmus

    While the appearance of a rocking sensation as a result of adaptation might seem implausible, as it implies the initiation of an oscillating pattern, experimentally a pendular nystagmus lasting up to 60 minutes can be induced in rabbits by 24 hours of [archotol.ama-assn.org]

    Postural Instability and Subjective Improvement Static posturography was recorded before and a week after treatment for 105 patients, and the relationship in improvement between the subjective measure and postural stability was determined for patients [frontiersin.org]

    Limits of the Study We investigated the relationship between self-scored severity and postural instability in patients we have treated successfully (Figure 1 ). [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

A thorough history, physical examination, and diagnostic workup will be required to make a diagnosis; however nothing will be revealed after extensive workup [1]. If this syndrome is well comprehended, it may be more appropriately diagnosed [1]. [hindawi.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]

Discussion MDS is a disorder of false perception of movement, its true incidence is unknown; its true etiology is also unknown [10]. [hindawi.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. [archotol.ama-assn.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]

A new recent hypothesis has been formulated considering the two pathophysiological theories previously described [13,19,21,25]. [future-science.com]

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]

Objectives: To better define real de debarquement ('sickness of disembarkment') syndrome, to understand the etiology or mechanism of this disorder, and to seek better prevention and treatment options for this disorder. [scholars.northwestern.edu]

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. [archotol.ama-assn.org]
