Dizziness: When Is It Migraine, and When Is It Not? 9:02 pm 12.1.2025 Dizziness: When Is It Migraine, and When Is It Not? Dizziness is a frequent neurologic symptom in patients with headache, which overlaps with many etiologies beyond vestibular migraine. This review aims to help neurologists distinguish when dizziness is due to vestibular migraine (VM) versus other vestibular syndromes. Read More
Transcranial magnetic stimulation use with chronic vestibular disorders: A scoping review 8:55 pm 12.1.2025 Transcranial magnetic stimulation use with chronic vestibular disorders: A scoping review TMS shows promise as both a neurophysiological assessment tool and a neuromodulatory intervention for chronic vestibular disorders. Methodological limitations of the studies warrant caution while interpreting the results. Larger sample sizes, control groups, optimal neuroanatomical targeting, and dosing along with active rehabilitation are required to determine effectiveness in chronic vestibular disorders. Read More

Ear, nose and throat disorders and international travel 8:24 pm 12.1.2025 Ear, nose and throat disorders and international travel Disorders of the ear, nose and throat may be the most commonly occurring pre-existing health condition in international travellers. Despite their high incidence, there is limited guidance for travellers and their clinicians on their prevention and management. Read More
Beyond vertigo: vestibular, aural, and perceptual symptoms in vestibular migraine MdDS Foundation 12:00 am 5.23.2024 Beyond vertigo: vestibular, aural, and perceptual symptoms in vestibular migraine Increased research attention to the wide spectrum of symptoms presenting in VM patients has improved understanding of this disorder, with recent identification of five different VM phenotypes.

What’s in a name? Chronic vestibular migraine or persistent postural perceptual dizziness? MdDS Foundation 12:01 am 12.7.2023 What’s in a name? Chronic vestibular migraine or persistent postural perceptual dizziness? Abstract Current consensus diagnostic criteria for vestibular migraine (VM) describes this as an episodic disorder. However, a minority of patients report prolonged (>72 h duration) or even persistent VM symptoms, prompting whether a chronic variant of vestibular migraine (CVM) should be introduced to the current classification and how best to define it. Here we summarize […] Read More
Management of Migraine-Associated Vestibulocochlear Disorders MdDS Foundation 12:01 am 7.19.2023 Management of Migraine-Associated Vestibulocochlear Disorders Migraine is a chronic neurological disorder that frequently coexists with different vestibular and cochlear symptoms (sudden hearing loss, tinnitus, otalgia, aural fullness, hyperacusis, dizziness, imbalance, and vertigo) and disorders (recurrent benign positional vertigo, persistent postural perceptual dizziness, mal de debarquement, and Menière’s disease).

Migraine management for the otolaryngologist MdDS Foundation 12:01 am 7.6.2023 Migraine management for the otolaryngologist Objective: To characterize migraine pathophysiology, presentation, and current treatment strategies, specifically in regard to vestibulocochlear manifestations of migraine. Conclusion: Migraine disorder manifesting with primarily cochleovestibular symptoms can be challenging to diagnose and manage for practicing clinicians. Patients with various vestibulopathies that are closely related to migraine may benefit from migraine treatment. Lifestyle choices and prophylactic medications are key to satisfactorily preventing acute migrainous attacks and improve function. Read More
