Clinical Features, Video Head Impulse Test, and Subjective Visual Vertical of Acute and Symptom-Free Phases in Patients with Definite Vestibular Migraine.

ABSTRACT: Background/Objectives: The most frequent neurologic cause of recurrent vertigo is vestibular migraine (VM). However, its diagnosis relies primarily on patients' histories, as specific diagnostic tests for VM are currently lacking. We aimed to examine and compare clinical features, vestibulo-ocular reflexes (VORs), and subjective visual vertical (SVV) between the ictal (IC) and inter-ictal (II) phases in VM patients. Methods: A repeated-measures study involved 31 patients with definite VM. Vestibular function was assessed using a video head impulse test (vHIT) to evaluate VOR results, and SVV testing to determine verticality perception. Otoneurological examination, including migraine-related disability, was noted. Analyses of repeated measures for numerical traits (SVV deviati
