Title : Vestibular Migraine
Abstract:
The current state of the problem of polymorphism of the clinical picture of vestibular migraine and objectification of the vestibular component remains unresolved and require further research.The purpose of our study was to study the clinical features and the possibility of objectification of vestibular dysfunction in patients with vestibular migraine. The study included patients with vestibular migraine and control groups. A targeted collection of complaints was carried out with an assessment of vestibular symptoms; a detailed history; a study of neurological status, with an emphasis on the study of oculomotor reactions, vestibular tests. Functional computer stabilometric tests were used to objectify vestibular dysfunction. Clinical features, as well as features of stabilometric parameters in patients with vestibular migraine have been identified, which can be used to obtain a quantitative assessment of vestibular dysfunction and objectification of vertigo in this category of patients. A purposeful and complete collection of complaints and anamnesis detailing the features of the symptoms in patients with vestibular migraine helps to identify the clinical polymorphism of the pathology in question and contributes to the correct diagnosis. And the use of functional stabilometric tests contributes to the objectification of vestibular dysfunction in this category of patients, quantifying the distinctive features of the balance system in vestibular migraine.
Audience Take Away
- The great theoretical and practical relevance of this topic drove the present study to deepen our knowledge of the clinical features of vestibular migraine and develop additional instrumented investigation criteria for diagnosis of the vestibular component of this pathology
- Analyzing the results presented here indicates that the targeted collection of complaints and history in patients with vestibular migraine helps in making correct diagnosis, while the use of functional stabilometric tests as presented here allows the state of the posture system to be determined by quantifying vestibular dysfunction in patients with vestibular migraine; functional computerized stabilometry can be regarded as a possible method for objectively confi rming failure of the balance control system in patients with vestibular migraine. Identification of the features of loss of balance in patients with vestibular migraine may have important diagnostic, preventive, and therapeutic implications
