Article Abstract

Background/aim: There are insufficient tools to assist in the diagnosis and treatment of vestibular migraine. Hence, the aim of this study was to perform the Turkish adaptation of the Vestibular Migraine Patient Assessment Tool and Handicap Inventory (VM-PATHI).

Materials And Methods: After the language and content validity was completed, a pilot study was conducted. Exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) were conducted to test construct validity, and as a result of the validity analyses, Cronbach's alpha internal consistency coefficient and test-retest analyses were conducted for reliability.

Results: In the study, in which 289 participants were evaluated, the Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin coefficient was calculated as 0.903. The percentage of variance explained by the EFA was 67.246% and the range of factor load change was 0.433-0.828. The scale structure was tested with CFA and the model was confirmed with adequate goodness of fit index values. The Cronbach's alpha internal consistency coefficient of the scale was 0.931.

Conclusion: The VM-PATHI is a valid and reliable tool for the subjective evaluation of vestibular migraine in Türkiye.

Background: Rhinosinusitis (RS) is a leading reason for antibiotic prescriptions but treatment satisfaction is low. Misdiagnosis may contribute to poor outcomes, as migraine-often underrecognized-can mimic RS symptoms, with studies showing overlap between RS and migraine diagnoses. Our aims were to explore the demographics and clinical features of facial pain or pressure (FPP), its relationship with migraine and RS, and distinguish symptoms between these overlapping conditions.

Background: The high heterogeneity in vestibular migraine (VM) complicates understanding its precise pathophysiological mechanisms and identifying potential biomarkers. This study investigated the heterogeneity in VM using a newly proposed method called Individualized Differential Structural Covariance Network (IDSCN) analysis.

Methods: Structural T1-weighted MRI scans were performed on 55 patients with VM and 65 healthy controls, and an IDSCN was constructed for each patient.

To investigate the sleep characteristics and clinical features of patients with vestibular migraine(VM), and to explore the influencing factors of sleep disorder in VM patients. A cross-sectional study method was adopted to collect VM patients from Otolaryngology department and neurology department of our hospital from June 2022 to June 2024(divided into sleep disorder group and non-sleep disorder group according to whether there is sleep disorder) as the experimental group, and recruit non-VM volunteers with clinical characteristics matching with the experimental group during the same period as the control group. The clinical data of the subjects were collected, and the sleep quality of the subjects was assessed using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index(PSQI).

: Vestibular migraine is a frequently underdiagnosed cause of dizziness in adult females, often overlapping clinically with other vestibular and neurological conditions. Despite its recognition in diagnostic criteria, limited data exist on its prevalence and functional impact in women presenting with dizziness in clinical settings. This study assesses the frequency and diagnostic rate of vestibular migraine among females aged 20-50 years presenting with dizziness and evaluates its impact on quality of life and work productivity.
