: This study compared the results of the caloric test with those of the video head impulse test obtained during the same session and evaluated whether the former can be used to screen for non-acute vestibular dysfunction.
: A total of 157 participants complaining of dizziness with vestibular characteristics of varying durations and clinical courses completed the caloric test and video head impulse test.
: Significantly more caloric test results than video head impulse test results were abnormal.
: The results of the caloric test and video head impulse test are distinct but complement each other. Within our sample, the caloric test was more sensitive for vestibular dysfunction. Therefore, the video head impulse test is not a suitable screening tool of the vestibular system in patients with chronic complaints.
本研究比较了在同一时段进行的冷热试验结果与视频头脉冲试验结果,并评估了前者是否可用于筛查非急性前庭功能障碍。
共有157名主诉头晕且头晕持续时间和临床病程各异、具有前庭特征的参与者完成了冷热试验和视频头脉冲试验。
冷热试验结果异常的情况显著多于视频头脉冲试验结果异常的情况。
冷热试验和视频头脉冲试验的结果不同但相辅相成。在我们的样本中,冷热试验对前庭功能障碍更敏感。因此,视频头脉冲试验并非慢性主诉患者前庭系统的合适筛查工具。
