Treatment of gravitational pulling sensation in patients with Mal de Debarquement Syndrome (MdDS): A model-based approach MdDS Foundation 12:01 am 5.1.2022 Treatment of gravitational pulling sensation in patients with Mal de Debarquement Syndrome (MdDS): A model-based approach Abstract Perception of the spatial vertical is important for maintaining and stabilizing vertical posture during body motion. The velocity storage pathway of vestibulo-ocular reflex (VOR), which integrates vestibular, optokinetic, and proprioception in the vestibular nuclei vestibular-only (VO) neurons, has spatio-temporal properties that are defined by eigenvalues and eigenvectors of its system matrix. The yaw, pitch […] Read More
Double-blind randomized N-of-1 trial of transcranial alternating current stimulation for mal de débarquement syndrome MdDS Foundation 12:01 am 2.4.2022 Double-blind randomized N-of-1 trial of transcranial alternating current stimulation for mal de débarquement syndrome Abstract Background: Mal de Débarquement Syndrome (MdDS) is a medically refractory neurotological disorder characterized by persistent oscillating vertigo that follows a period of entrainment to oscillating motion such as experienced during sea or air travel. Fronto-occipital hypersynchrony may correlate with MdDS symptom severity. Materials and methods: Individuals with treatment refractory MdDS lasting at least 6 […] Read More
Remotely Monitored Home-Based Neuromodulation With Transcranial Alternating Current Stimulation (tACS) for Mal de Débarquement Syndrome MdDS Foundation 12:01 am 12.9.2021 Remotely Monitored Home-Based Neuromodulation With Transcranial Alternating Current Stimulation (tACS) for Mal de Débarquement Syndrome Abstract Objective: To determine whether remotely-monitored transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS) may be a viable and safe treatment option for Mal de Débarquement Syndrome (MdDS). Background: Mal de Débarquement Syndrome is a neurotological disorder characterized by persistent oscillating vertigo that is triggered by entrainment to passive oscillatory motion such as occurs during water-based travel. Treatment […] Read More
Transcranial Alternating Current Stimulation Reduces Network Hypersynchrony and Persistent Vertigo MdDS Foundation 12:01 am 3.23.2021 Transcranial Alternating Current Stimulation Reduces Network Hypersynchrony and Persistent Vertigo Abstract Objectives: Persistent oscillating vertigo that occurs after entrainment to periodic motion is known as Mal de Débarquement Syndrome (MdDS). Down-modulation of this oscillating vertigo is associated with reduction in long-range resting-state functional connectivity between fronto-parieto-occipital regions. In order to determine the association between this oscillating vertigo and hypersynchrony as measured by the auditory steady-state […] Read More
The relation of motion sickness to the spatial-temporal properties of velocity storage MdDS Foundation 12:01 am 7.1.2003 The relation of motion sickness to the spatial-temporal properties of velocity storage Abstract Tilting the head in roll to or from the upright while rotating at a constant velocity (roll while rotating, RWR) alters the position of the semicircular canals relative to the axis of rotation. This produces vertical and horizontal nystagmus, disorientation, vertigo, and nausea. With recurrent exposure, subjects habituate and can make more head movements […] Read More
