Study Summary
Vestibular disorders are among the most common causes of disability in society. Vestibular dysfunction affects over one third of the population over the age of 40 and a significant percentage of the younger population. Vestibular disorders have a dramatic impact on daily life impacting work, relationships, and even activities of daily living. Diagnosis of vestibular disorders is often facilitated by functional vestibular tests. The most common of these tests is videonystagmography, during a critical portion of which, the "caloric test," warm and cool stimuli are presented in the outer ears to stimulate the inner ear vestibular system. The vertigo produced by caloric stimulation not uncommonly results in nausea, and sometimes vomiting, sometimes to the point of not being able to complete the test protocol. In this project we examine a device that has shown promise and might be beneficial for improving the testing for vestibular disorders. We hypothesize that with this device, the nausea associated with caloric testing will be significantly reduced when the device is used, while it will not change the results of the test in a statistically significantly manner. To date, the device has only been systematically tested on healthy volunteers.
