Abstract

Background and objectives: Masseter vestibular evoked myogenic potential (mVEMP) is a newly developed tool which is used to assess the vestibulo-trigeminal neural and saccular functioning pathways. Recently, this test was added to a full test battery for evaluating the brainstem of people with neurological disorders and other vestibular diseases. For any test to qualify as a standard test, the test must have high reliability across all testing windows. Hence, the present study focused on validating the reliability of mVEMP in a large population.

Subjects and methods: The study included 50 healthy participants with normal hearing. All the participants were tested using mVEMP and underwent retest within a month after the initial test. All parameters (latencies, peak-to-peak amplitude, asymmetric ratio) were observed for both sessions. To determine the statistically significant differences between and across the sessions, non-parametric tests such as Mann-Whitney U and Wilcoxon signed-rank tests were used.

Results: The test-retest reliability of all parameters were observed. The reliability was fair-to-good for P11 and N21 latencies. The other parameters showed less significance. There were no significant differences in sex and ear comparisons between and across the sessions.

Conclusions: Our study demonstrated that the mVEMP is a reliable test which can be used to assess peripheral vestibular system dysfunction and neurological conditions.

健康人音爆诱发 500 Hz 空气传导下颌前庭诱发肌源性电位的测试-重测可靠性。

背景和目的：......：颌前庭诱发肌源性电位（mVEMP）是一种新开发的工具，用于评估前庭-三叉神经和囊肌功能通路。最近，该测试被添加到一整套测试中，用于评估神经系统疾病和其他前庭疾病患者的脑干。任何测试要想成为标准测试，都必须在所有测试窗口中具有较高的可靠性。因此，本研究的重点是在大量人群中验证 mVEMP 的可靠性：研究包括 50 名听力正常的健康参与者。所有参与者均接受了 mVEMP 测试，并在首次测试后一个月内接受了复测。对两次测试的所有参数（潜伏期、峰-峰振幅、不对称比率）进行了观察。为了确定两次测试之间和两次测试之间的显著统计学差异，使用了非参数检验，如 Mann-Whitney U 和 Wilcoxon 符号秩检验：观察了所有参数的重测可靠性。P11和N21潜伏期的可靠性尚可。其他参数的可靠性较低。在不同疗程之间和不同疗程之间，性别和耳部比较无明显差异：我们的研究表明，mVEMP 是一种可靠的测试，可用于评估外周前庭系统功能障碍和神经系统疾病。

期刊介绍： Journal of Audiology and Otology (JAO) (formerly known as Korean Journal of Audiology) aims to publish the most advanced findings for all aspects of the auditory and vestibular system and diseases of the ear using state-of-the-art techniques and analyses. The journal covers recent trends related to the topics of audiology, otology, and neurotology conducted by professionals, with the goal of providing better possible treatment to people of all ages, from infants to the elderly, who suffer from auditory and/or vestibular disorders and thus, improving their quality of life. This journal encourages the submission of review papers about current professional issues, research papers presenting a scientific base and clinical application, and case papers with unique reports or clinical trials. We also invite letters to the editor and papers related to the manufacture and distribution of medical devices. This journal provides integrated views from otologists, audiologists, and other healthcare practitioners, offering readers high quality scientific and clinical information. This peer-reviewed and open access journal has been the official journal of the Korean Audiological Society since 1997 and of both the Korean Audiological Society and the Korean Otological Society since 2017. It is published in English four times a year in January, April, July, and October.
