Aim: To determine the sensitivity of the vestibular evoked myogenic potential (VEMP) in multiple sclerosis (MS) patients as well as its relation to clinical signs and symptoms, course of the disease and other evoked potentials.

Methods: This case-control study was conducted on 40 subjects (20 MS patients and 20 healthy participants). Participants were selected from Imam Khomeini Hospital, Tehran, Iran. Two hundred stimuli (clicks of 0.1 ms of duration and 2 Hz frequency) were applied to each ear. These stimuli were repeated in two consecutive cycles. In order to evaluate the reproducibility the stimulation intensity of 95dBNHL was applied. During the test, individuals were requested to be seated on a chair and rotate their head to the opposite side of the stimulated ear to activate the ipsilateral sternocleidomastoid muscle (SCM).

Results: A biphasic, initially positive, p13-n23 wave pattern was found in all patients. All of the parameters, including latencies and amplitudes fit the normal Kolmogorov-Smirnov (KS) distribution. Fourteen (70%) patients reported abnormal results, and VEMP abnormality was significantly related to disease duration also. In addition, there was a significant correlation between abnormality of VEMP and abnormality of visual evoked potential (VEP) as well as the abnormality of VEMP and brainstem auditory evoked potential (BAEP).

Conclusion: Vestibular evoked myogenic potential has a high sensitivity (70%) in MS patients, and VEMP could be recommended as a useful complementary neurophysiological method to evaluate the MS patients.

Vergence increases the amplitude of lateral ocular vestibular evoked myogenic potentials.

Authors:
László T Tamás Americo A Migliaccio Christopher J Todd Michael C Schubert Béla Büki

The angular and linear vestibulo-ocular reflex responses are greater when viewing near targets to compensate for the relatively larger translation of the eyes with respect to the target. Our aim was to measure vestibular evoked myogenic potentials using a lateral ocular electrode montage (oVEMP) with a laterally applied stimulus using a mini-shaker during both far- and near-viewing (vergence) distances to determine whether vergence affects the oVEMP response as it does the semicircular canal vestibulo-ocular reflex response. Our results show that during vergence, the p1 and n1-p1 amplitude of the lateral oVEMP response increases significantly, whereas the latencies do not change significantly. Read More

Indian J Otolaryngol Head Neck Surg 2021 Mar 29;73(1):12-17. Epub 2020 Jan 29.

JSS Institute of Speech and Hearing, MG Road, Mysore, India.

This study aimed to assess the balance function in children with sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) using different tests to assess vestibulospinal pathway and tests to assess vestibular system and to compare the result obtained with those of children with normal hearing sensitivity. Detailed balance assessment was done for 15 children with severe to profound SNHL and 15 children with normal hearing sensitivity in the age range of 6-10 years. The audiological evaluation included pure-tone audiometry, speech audiometry, immittance evaluation, otoacoustic emission, vestibular evoked myogenic potential (cervical VEMP and ocular VEMP), and tests to assess vestibulospinal pathway and cerebellar function, such as Romberg test, Fukuda stepping test, Tandem gait test, and Finger-to-nose test.

Distinct Vestibular Evoked Myogenic Potentials in Patients With Parkinson Disease and Progressive Supranuclear Palsy.

Authors:
Sandra Carpinelli Philipp O Valko Daniel Waldvogel Elena Buffone Christian R Baumann Dominik Straumann Esther Werth Christopher J Bockisch Konrad P Weber Yulia Valko

Front Neurol 2020 12;11:598763. Epub 2021 Feb 12.

Early brainstem neurodegeneration is common in Parkinson's disease (PD) and progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP). While previous work showed abnormalities in vestibular evoked myogenic potentials (VEMPs) in patients with either disorder as compared to healthy humans, it remains unclear whether ocular and cervical VEMPs differ between PD and PSP patients. We prospectively included 12 PD and 11 PSP patients, performed ocular and cervical VEMPs, and calculated specific VEMP scores (0 = normal, 12 = most pathological) based on latencies, amplitude, and absent responses.

Normal values for cervical and ocular vestibular-evoked myogenic potentials using EMG scaling: effect of body position and electrode montage.

Authors:
Navid Shahnaz Eytan A David

Acta Otolaryngol 2021 Feb 27:1-9. Epub 2021 Feb 27.

Department of Surgery, University of British Columbia, Vancouver, Canada.

Background: The clinical utility of cervical and ocular vestibular-evoked myogenic potential (cVEMP and oVEMP) is limited by variability of testing protocols and a dearth of normative data using contemporary methods for amplitude scaling.

Aims/objectives: To investigate the effect of body position and electrode montage on VEMP responses and to establish normative values.

Material And Methods: This is a repeated measures study of 44 healthy young adult subjects (22 men and 22 women). Read More
