View clinical trials related to Vestibular Migraine.
Filter by:Vestibular migraine (VM) is one of the most common causes of vertigo attacks, affecting 1 - 5% of people. People with vestibular migraine have lower quality of life compared to others and some may experience completely debilitating symptoms. Symptoms include vertigo, nausea, head motion-induced dizziness, unsteadiness, balance problems, and lightheadedness. There is evidence the medication amitriptyline in isolation and also our lifestyle modification intervention in isolation can each help reduce symptoms of dizziness and headache in patients with VM. However, these data are observational and subject to various types of bias. The purpose of the current investigation is to determine outcomes from each intervention using randomized allocation of participants diagnosed with VM into either the amitriptyline arm or the lifestyle modification arm. The investigators will measure for change in dizziness using the Dizziness Handicap Inventory (DHI) and for change in headache using the Headache Disability Inventory (HDI). For participants in the lifestyle modification arm, the investigators will also measure for change in lifestyle factor to determine improvement on those intervention factors. Measures will be obtained pre-intervention to establish baseline, at 30 days, 60 days, and 90 days. the investigators will also re-survey participants one year after initiation of intervention to determine adherence and status.
The goal of this virtual clinical trial is to compare the effectiveness of two study devices in providing temporary relief to adults aged 18-75 who suffer from symptoms of chronic Vestibular Migraines (VM), also known as Migraine Associated Vertigo. Participants will be: - Enrolled up to 50 days; enrollment, 14 days in Baseline Phase (no device), 7 days in Transition Phase, 28 days in Treatment Phase (study device) - Randomized and stratified into groups based on the referring clinic to be assigned one study device - Asked to use the study device as instructed by the study coordinator - Asked to submit daily diaries reporting their symptoms and use of device, and to participate in tele-health visits with study coordinators - Asked to provide their vertigo diagnosis from their physician - Compensated for their participation Researchers will compare the randomized groups to determine which group responds better to which device.
Evaluation of hearing in patients with vestibular migraine
Multiple sensory cues are typically generated by discrete events, and while they do not reach the cerebrum simultaneously, the brain can bind them temporally if they are interpreted as corresponding to a single event. The temporal binding of vestibular and non-vestibular sensory cues is poorly understood and has not been studied in detail, despite the fact that the vestibular system operates in an inherently multimodal environment. In this study, the researchers are investigating the physiology and pathophysiology of vestibular temporal binding by studying normal subjects, patients with peripheral and central vestibular dysfunction, and patients with vestibular and cochlear signals provided by prosthetic implants in the inner ear.
