Research Summary
A systematic review published in the Journal of Otolaryngology - Head & Neck Surgery explores ocular findings in vestibular migraine (VM) during vestibular testing. The review, which included 31 studies, found that nystagmus occurred in 2% to 100% of patients during Dix-Hallpike testing and in 8% to 38% during supine head roll testing, with various directions observed. Positional testing showed nystagmus in up to 100% of patients, with supine testing revealing 42% to 96% occurrence. Unilateral weakness was noted in up to 100% of patients, though most reported rates below 50%. Abnormal gain and corrective saccades were common during video head impulse testing. The study highlights the need for further research on VM-related nystagmus characteristics.
