Abstract

Vestibular migraine (VM) patients are ictally and interictally hypersensitive for self‐motion and visual perception. Increased cortical excitability of the vestibular system represented by lowered motion perception thresholds might play an important role in the pathophysiology of VM. We aimed to compare motion perception thresholds and the vegetative response to rotatory motion, as well as the vestibulo‐ocular reflex (VOR) during rotation in VM patients compared to healthy controls (HC).
