Novel ways to modulate the vestibular system: Magnetic vestibular stimulation, deep brain stimulation and transcranial magnetic stimulation / transcranial direct current stimulation MdDS Foundation 12:01 am 2.15.2023 Novel ways to modulate the vestibular system: Magnetic vestibular stimulation, deep brain stimulation and transcranial magnetic stimulation / transcranial direct current stimulation Abstract Background: Advances in neurotechnologies are revolutionizing our understanding of complex neural circuits and enabling new treatments for disorders of the human brain. In the vestibular system, electromagnetic stimuli can now modulate vestibular reflexes and sensations of self-motion by artificially stimulating the labyrinth, cerebellum, cerebral cortex, and their connections. Objective: In this narrative review, we […] Read More
Update on therapies for Mal de Débarquement Syndrome MdDS Foundation 12:01 am 8.19.2022 Update on therapies for Mal de Débarquement Syndrome Abstract Purpose of Review This review will discuss current treatment options for mal de débarquement syndrome (MdDS) and non-motion triggered persistent oscillating vertigo (nmPOV). Therapies available in most clinical settings such as modifying homeostatic factors (sleep, stress, menstrual cycle, visual stimulation), medications (benzodiazepines, serotonin reuptake inhibitors), and vestibular/physical therapy are discussed. Travel precautions should incorporate […] Read More
Influence of sex hormones on vestibular disorders MdDS Foundation 12:01 am 2.1.2022 Influence of sex hormones on vestibular disorders Abstract Purpose of review: Vestibular disorders are gender distributed with a higher prevalence in women. Although research has increased in this field, the mechanisms underlying this unbalance is unclear. This review summarises recent advances in this research sphere, and briefly discusses sex hormone effects on various vestibular conditions and highlights some recent theories. Recent findings: […] Read More

Current and emerging medical therapies for dizziness MdDS Foundation 12:01 am 10.1.2021 Current and emerging medical therapies for dizziness Abstract Medical therapies for dizziness are aimed at vertigo reduction, secondary symptom management, or the root cause of the pathologic process. Acute peripheral vertigo pharmacotherapies include antihistamines, calcium channel blockers, and benzodiazepines. Prophylactic pharmacotherapies vary between causes. For Meniere disease, betahistine and diuretics remain initial first-line oral options, whereas intratympanic steroids and intratympanic gentamicin are […] Read More
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation as Treatment for Mal de Debarquement Syndrome: Case Report and Literature Review MdDS Foundation 12:01 am 6.1.2021 Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation as Treatment for Mal de Debarquement Syndrome: Case Report and Literature Review Abstract This manuscript presents the case of an adult, male patient with mal de debarquement syndrome (MdDS); results from his experimental treatment with repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) are also provided. Additionally, we included a review of literature related to the neurophysiology of MdDS and its treatment with rTMS. A 41-year-old man had been experiencing […] Read More
fMRI and transcranial electrical stimulation (tES): A systematic review of parameter space and outcomes MdDS Foundation 12:01 am 4.20.2021 fMRI and transcranial electrical stimulation (tES): A systematic review of parameter space and outcomes Abstract The combination of non-invasive brain stimulation interventions with human brain mapping methods have supported research beyond correlational associations between brain activity and behavior. Functional MRI (fMRI) partnered with transcranial electrical stimulation (tES) methods, i.e., transcranial direct current (tDCS), transcranial alternating current (tACS), and transcranial random noise (tRNS) stimulation, explore the neuromodulatory effects of tES […] Read More
