Vestibular Migraine Treatment
Vestibular Migraine is one of the most common causes of recurrent vertigo and dizziness, often associated with or without headache. It occurs when migraine activity affects the vestibular system, causing episodes of spinning, imbalance, and sensitivity to motion that can last from minutes to days.
Effective management combines accurate diagnosis, lifestyle modifications, and targeted medical therapy to reduce the frequency and severity of episodes.
What is Vestibular Migraine?
Vestibular Migraine is a neurological condition where migraine-related mechanisms trigger vestibular symptoms such as vertigo, dizziness, and balance disturbances. It may occur with or without the typical migraine headache, making it frequently misdiagnosed as other vestibular disorders.
Diagnosis is based on clinical criteria including a history of migraine and recurrent vestibular episodes.
