Abstract
Migraine is a primary headache disorder characterized by recurrent headaches that are moderate to severe. Typically, the headaches affect one half of the head, are pulsating in nature, and last from four to 72 hours. About 30-50% of all patients with migraine describe vertigo or dizziness associated with their migraine. The most common term to describe the combination of both is vestibular migraine VM. The diagnosis of VM is quite challenging and the pathophysiology is not well understood.
This study aimed at investigating VSR and VOR dysfunctions through SOT of dynamic posturography in VM. SOT protocol included 6 conditions and 4 ratios.
Among 20 VM patients who underwent SOT 10 (50%), 13 (65%), 9 (45%) and 16 (80%) showed abnormal somatosensory, visual and vestibular results, respectively. According to the results of SOT for the control group, only 2 subjects (10%) showed abnormal somatosensory ratio, while none of the subjects showed abnormal results in either visual or vestibular ratios.
Regarding all the 6 conditions of SOT, VM patients showed significantly higher abnormal results than the control group. Results of Conditions 5 and 6 ranged from 16.3 to 76.75 and 1.53 to 70.68, respectively.
Our findings suggest that patients with VM have a substantial vestibulo-spinal abnormality that can be uncovered by posturography. Patients with VM also showed difficulty in using multisystem (vestibular and somatosensory) information, with a negative impact on postural stability.
