The interictal symptom burden in vestibular migraine—a condition in need of recognition

Share

  • 1

    Vestibular migraine (VM) includes persistent vestibular symptoms during the interictal phase, extending beyond discrete migraine attacks.

  • 2

    Common interictal symptoms of VM include head-motion intolerance, visually induced dizziness, and increased motion sickness susceptibility.

  • 3

    Altered central vestibular sensory and oculomotor networks, rather than peripheral vestibular disorders, underlie interictal symptoms in VM.

  • 4

    Longitudinal studies show that interictal vestibular symptoms may increase over time, even as the frequency of VM attacks decreases.

  • 5

    The review proposes preliminary diagnostic criteria for chronic vestibular migraine based on symptom frequency and persistence.
