Association Between Gut-Brain Axis Dysfunction and Vestibular Migraine Severity
The study demonstrates an association between GBA-related symptoms and greater VM severity. These findings highlight the potential importance of assessing gastrointestinal and psychological comorbidities in the management of VM, particularly in Pakistani clinical settings where such factors may be overlooked. Future research should investigate the therapeutic potential of gut-targeted interventions using longitudinal designs and objective measures to clarify causal relationships and assess efficacy.
