ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to assess the functional head impulse test on migraine patients without vertigo. fHIT is a new vestibular test which evaluates the ability to see and read clearly during head movement as a functional measurement of the vestibulo-ocular reflex.

MATERIALS AND METHODS: The study included 20 patients suffering from migraine without vertigo between the ages of 20 and 30-years-old who were diagnosed by a neurologist and 20 individuals with non-migraine headaches (control group), with similar demographic characteristics. The functional head impulse test was applied to both groups, and the migraine disability assessment test was applied to migraine patients.

RESULTS: There was no statistically significant difference in the general fHIT results between the migraine group and the control group (p > 0.05). However, a statistically significant decrease was obtained in migraine patients in the left lateral (p = 0.018) and right posterior (p = 0.029) semicircular canals at 4000 Hz and the right anterior semicircular canal at 6000 Hz (p = 0.019). When compared by the degree of migraine disability assessment test, no significant difference in the fHIT results were observed (p > 0.05).

CONCLUSION: The semicircular canals may be affected at high head acceleration (4000-6000 Hz) in migraine patients without a history of vertigo. It should be considered that fHIT results between 4000 and 6000 Hz in migraine patients without vertigo can be pathologic.
