[The significance of prophylactic migraine therapy in controlling familial Meniere's disease, a preliminary study].

To investigate the effect of prophylactic migraine therapy in controlling vertigo episode of Meniere's disease. We prospectively collected 16 cases of familial Meniere' disease diagnosed in our vertigo outpatient. The patients were divide into without migraine group (WOM) and with migraine group (WM). Give WM group a prophylactic therapy for migraine and compare within groups about the follow-up results of vertigo episodes. WOM group had better results in controlling vertigo, then the controlling effect equaled after we added a prophylactic therapy for migraine. Combined with prophylactic migraine therapy may have better effect in accompanying migraine patients when controlling familial Meniere's disease.
