Research Summary
The SPIRAL study, published in Clinical Neurology and Neurosurgery, explored how preventive migraine treatments affect vestibular symptoms like dizziness. Conducted at a tertiary headache center, this study involved 59 predominantly female patients, averaging 36 years old, with migraines and vestibular symptoms. Over 3 months, preventive therapy significantly reduced monthly headache days from 15 to 4, improved Headache Impact Test scores from 67 to 60, and decreased dizziness and vertigo prevalence from 75% to 46% and 49% to 24%, respectively. Although the Dizziness Handicap Inventory showed a modest decrease, improvements were linked to reduced asymmetry in vestibular function, highlighting potential clinical relevance.
