Occipital and Cerebellar Theta Burst Stimulation for Mal De Debarquement Syndrome.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Individuals with Mal de Debarquement syndrome (MdDS) experience persistent oscillating vertigo lasting for months or years. Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) can modulate the motion perception of MdDS.

Materials and methods

Twenty-six TMS naive individuals received single administrations of continuous theta burst stimulation (cTBS) over the occipital cortex, cerebellar vermis, and lateral cerebellar hemisphere, in randomized order. A 0-100 point Visual Analogue Scale was used to assess acute changes in oscillating vertigo severity after each session. Repeated treatments were given over the target that led to the most acute reduction in symptoms. All treatments were performed with neuronavigation using the participant's own brain MRI.
