Cervical Vestibular-evoked Myogenic Potential in Healthy Adults: A Cross-sectional Study Investigating the Impact of Various Stimuli and Recording Conditions

The results of the current study revealed a greater response rates and larger amplitudes for tone burst-evoked c-VEMP responses as compared to those with click stimuli. A seated, head-turned position with the active electrode placed in the middle of the SCM muscle yielded larger tone burst-evoked c-VEMP responses. The variation in the VEMP data obtained owing to different stimuli and recording conditions should be considered when evaluating patients in clinical practice to optimize the clinical applicability of the VEMP examination.
