Abstract

Vestibular migraine (VM) has been recognized as a diagnostic entity over the past three decades. It affects up to 1% of the general population and 7% of patients seen in dizziness clinics. It is still underdiagnosed; consequently, it is important to conduct clinical studies that address diagnostic indicators of VM. The aim of this study was to assess auditory brainstem function in women with vestibular migraine using electrophysiological testing, contralateral acoustic reflex and loudness discomfort level.
