Presentation
The four visual conditions were presented to each subject. Eyes open and eyes closed conditions were presented in a counterbalanced order prior to the two conditions of visual disturbances. [academic.oup.com]
A recent service evaluation showed excellent results; its findings were presented nationally at the British Academy of Audiology Meeting, Glasgow, 2016. [hra.nhs.uk]
Go over the same terrain over and over Practice sensory switching (i.e. balance with eyes open and closed, on stable surface vs unstable surface, with rotating surround vs still) Treat migraine if present with medication. [dizziness-and-balance.com]

Malingering
This makes assessment of visual dependence vulnerable to cognitive state, including those who are involved in malingering. It also makes research studies of visual dependence very vulnerable to bias. [dizziness-and-balance.com]

Hyperacusis
Other sensory amplifications which are common in persons with migraine include allodynia, sensitivity to weather changes, hyperacusis (sensitivity to loud noises -- called phonophobia in migraine patients), motion sensitivity, and medication sensitivity [dizziness-and-balance.com]

Photosensitivity
Photosensitivity (photophobia) -- is not the same as visual dependence. Some people just can't tolerate bright light. This is called photosensitivity in general, but the terminology varies a bit according to the supposed cause. [dizziness-and-balance.com]

Suggestibility
The flow situation is actually quite a bit more complex than suggested above-- flow fields can be described in terms of four components: translation, expansion, rotation, and shear. [dizziness-and-balance.com]
The diagnosis was based on the clinical history of a single, long-duration, rotational vertigo attack suggestive of vestibular neuritis (n 4), repetitive, brief, positional, rotational vertigo suggestive of benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (n 2) or [academic.oup.com]

Psychiatric Symptoms
These include the subjective nature of the symptom of dizziness, the fact that vestibular tests are restricted to the horizontal canals, the different views of clinicians on psychogenic dizziness and the finding that psychiatric symptoms are common in [academic.oup.com]

Paresis
Canal paresis and directional preponderances were present in four patients each. One patient had combined canal paresis and directional preponderance, whilst another had subtotal bilateral reduction in caloric/rotational responses. [academic.oup.com]

Postural Instability
This parameter is an indicator of postural instability. [academic.oup.com]
Treatment
Treatment of visual dependence This is a mainly theoretical discussion about treatment. [dizziness-and-balance.com]
Except for the visual field testing, remaining treatment will be as per the established pathway for visual vertigo management. [hra.nhs.uk]
However, such stimuli are not used routinely in the majority of neuro-otology clinics, and further studies are needed to quantify the efficiency of such treatments and establish their clinical value. [academic.oup.com]
