Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An array of words can be used to describe vestibular migraine: Annoying. Debilitating. Overwhelming. Much of the frustration surrounding vestibular migraine is due in part to the fact that as a relatively new disease in the world of vestibular disorders, we just don't know much about it. As a patient - or someone who interacts with a patient of vestibular migraine - the incapacitating attacks and randomness of the symptoms can complicate the already-stressful aspect of dealing with the condition itself. This book is designed to serve as a resource guide to empower and inform patients for the long and at times arduous journey with vestibular migraine. Topics include an introduction to migraine and vestibular anatomy, outlining what vestibular migraine is, diagnosis and treatment of vestibular migraine, and quality of life aspects. Over 170 references highlight some of the most recent research available, in turn providing ample opportunity for patients to read further in order to gain additional insight into this disease. Written by an individual who has himself dealt with multiple vestibular disorders, Vestibular Migraine: A Comprehensive Patient Guide is designed to provide the vestibular migraine patient a solid foundation of facts and information that they can use to improve their understanding of this disease. Through improving their knowledge of this disease, patients can have productive and focused discussions with their medical provider in order to outline a directed plan of treatment to hopefully reduce the effects of vestibular migraine.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on the breakthrough understanding that virtually all headaches are forms of migraine--because migraine is not a specific type of headache, but the built-in mechanism that causes headaches of all kinds, along with neck stiffness, sinus congestion, dizziness, and other problems--Dr. Buchholz's Heal Your Headache puts headache sufferers back in control of their lives with a simple, transforming program: Step 1: Avoid the "Quick Fix." Too often painkillers only make matters worse because of the crippling complication known as rebound. Step 2: Reduce Your Triggers. The crux of the program: a migraine diet that eliminates the foods that push headache sufferers over the top. Step 3: Raise Your Threshold. When diet and other lifestyle changes aren't enough, preventive medication can help stay the course. That's it: in three steps turn your headache problems around.

Book excerpt: Persistent Postural-Perceptual Dizziness, or "PPPD", is one of the newest vestibular conditions to receive its official diagnostic criteria. Thought to originate from within the vestibular system and brain, PPPD typically generates chronic dizziness, vertigo, and/or unsteadiness that is worsened when patients are in an upright position. Despite these symptoms, vestibular tests are often found to be normal which ends up leaving patients with no real answers as to the cause of their ongoing dizziness. PPPD - A Patient's Guide to Understanding Persistent Perceptual-Postural Dizziness was written for the PPPD patient in order to summarize the available research specific to what PPPD is, who it affects, and how it can be treated. In addition, chapters are included that describe the structure and function of the vestibular system along with summarizing several other related vestibular conditions that are capable of producing symptoms similar to what is experienced with PPPD. This book is designed to be a comprehensive source of information for PPPD patients that can educate and empower them in their battle against PPPD. Over 110 research papers are cited throughout the book, helping patients to be armed with the latest and most relevant information that will allow them to have informed and productive discussions with their medical provider.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This text reviews the current understanding of vestibular anatomy allowing for a framework of reference, and how it's applied to vestibular testing, diagnosis and management of dizziness. Vestibular testing is an important tool in the evaluation and management of the patient with dizziness. It aids in establishing a diagnosis and determining the side or site of the lesion. In addition, it guides practitioners in selection of treatment and allows the ability of the patient’s condition to be evaluated over its time course. Common vestibular pathologies such as benign positional vertigo, Meniere’s disease, multisensory imbalance, vestibular neuritis, superior canal dehiscence, and vestibular migraine will be addressed in a concise and understandable manner. The text follows a clear format in which the etiology, pathophysiology, diagnostic features and medical or surgical management of such pathologies are discussed. The book gains increased importance as superior canal dehiscence and vestibular migraine are relatively new hot topics. Lastly, relatively rare entities such as bilateral vestibular hypofunction, pediatric vestibular disorders and central vestibular disorders are discussed. This text serves as a complete reference for clinicians, students and researchers interested in this common and severe disorder allowing for improved patient care and advancement of knowledge in the field. Chapters are written by acknowledged experts, allowing summary review of the newest and most up-to-date understanding of scientific information. Diagnosis and Treatment of Vestibular Disorders will be an invaluable resource for otolaryngologists, neurologists, otologists and neurotologists, basic science and translational researchers with interests in the vestibular system, fellows and residents in aforementioned fields, and general practitioners with an interest in patients with symptoms of dizziness.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a multidisciplinary approach to vestibular migraine and related syndromes in which dizziness is the most predominant feature. Starting from the neurological point of view, the pathophysiology, classification, neurophysiology and therapy of migraine are discussed. Readers will learn how to recognize and properly treat vestibular migraine, which is often undiagnosed or misdiagnosed as Ménière’s syndrome (a form of vertigo characterized by vertigo spells and hearing loss that presents comorbidity with migraine) or benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (in which patients experience brief episodes of vertigo, lasting from seconds to 1 minute, when they move their heads in a certain way). The described diagnostic and therapeutic strategies include the newest, state of the art approaches. Further aspects of migraine that are considered include hyperexcitability in the brain and the triad of migraine, dizziness and anxiety. In addition, the imaging of migraine, and of vestibular migraine in particular, is discussed and clinical records are reported. Vestibular Migraine and Related Syndromes is based on the practical and clinical experiences of an authoritative group of well-known neurologists, ENT specialists and neuro-otologists. It provides neurologists with a complete overview of relevant clinical features, otolaryngologists with clear descriptions of clinical aspects and the pathophysiology of migraine and radiologists with guidance on the role of imaging techniques.
