Research Summary
A systematic review published in the Journal of Otolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery explores ocular findings in adults with vestibular migraine (VM) during vestibular testing. The study analyzed 31 studies and found that positioning testing nystagmus was present in 2% to 100% of patients during Dix-Hallpike tests and 8% to 38% during supine head roll tests. Positional testing showed nystagmus in 0% to 100% of patients upright and 42% to 96% supine. Unilateral weakness was reported in up to 100% of cases, though often less than 50%. Abnormal gain and corrective saccades were common during video head impulse testing.
