Frequently Asked Questions
Can AI diagnose vestibular migraine effectively?
Yes, AI can assess vestibular migraine by analyzing patterns of dizziness, vertigo, and headache symptoms along with migraine history and triggers to determine likelihood of vestibular migraine diagnosis.
What's the difference between vestibular migraine and regular vertigo?
Vestibular migraine occurs in people with migraine history and often includes migraine triggers, light/sound sensitivity, and headache. Regular vertigo from inner ear problems typically doesn't have these migraine-associated features.
Can you have vestibular migraine without headache?
Yes, vestibular migraine can occur without headache in about 30% of cases. The diagnosis is based on episodic vestibular symptoms in someone with migraine history, regardless of concurrent headache.
How is vestibular migraine treated?
Treatment includes lifestyle modifications, trigger avoidance, preventive medications (similar to migraine prevention), and acute treatments for severe episodes. Vestibular rehabilitation therapy may also help with balance recovery.
