  • Title: Waiting for the evidence: VEMP testing and the ability to differentiate utricular versus saccular function.
    Author: Welgampola MS, Carey JP.
    Journal: Otolaryngol Head Neck Surg; 2010 Aug; 143(2):281-3. PubMed ID: 20647135.
    Abstract:
    The advent of cervical vestibular evoked myogenic potentials (CVEMPs) marked a milestone in clinical vestibular testing because they provided a simple means of assessing human otolith function. The availability of air-conducted (AC) sound and bone-conducted vibration (BCV) to evoke CVEMPs and development of a new technique of recording ocular vestibular-evoked myogenic potentials (OVEMPs) have increased the complexity of this simple test, yet extended its diagnostic capabilities. Here we highlight the evidence-based assumptions that guide interpretation of AC sound- and BCV-evoked VEMPs and the gaps in VEMP research thus far.
