Surprisingly, there has not been an objective assessment of the effects of glucocorticoids on dizziness symptoms in vestibular neuronitis. The focus has instead been on canal paresis recovery, a surrogate marker of the vestibulo-ocular reflex. Despite asymmetrical vestibulo-ocular reflex time constants following an acute vestibulopathy, recent evidence has shown a dissociation between vestibulo-ocular reflex (i.e. vestibular function) and vestibulo-perceptual thresholds (i.e. symptoms). This project investigated the acute effect of glucocorticoids on dizziness symptoms in patients with acute vestibular neuronitis.","PeriodicalId":22781,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of Laryngology & Otology","volume":"93 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-05-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78697696","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
