Vestibular migraine treatment and prevention.

Vestibular migraine probably represents the second most common cause of vertigo after benign positional vertigo, by far exceeding Ménière disease. There are still relatively few published reports on vestibular migraine management, despite its enormous importance in daily practice. In 2003 the first clinical definition of vestibular migraine was proposed. Studies published before 2003 used variable terms for vestibular migraine. Some authors recommend treating vestibular migraine using multiple drugs; others have focused on using only one drug. Although at present it is not possible to quantify the effects of the treatments proposed, some recommendations can be made.
