Proinflammatory Cytokine Profiles in Menière's Disease and Vestibular Migraine
This pilot study suggests Menière's disease patients may have higher levels of TNF-α and IFN-γ and lower levels of ENA-78 than vestibular migraine patients when measured following in vitro release from patient-derived PBMC. Increased sample size, optimized blood draw timing, and more specific PBMC stimulation may help us further elucidate inflammatory pathways implicated in these disorders.
