Abstract

To summarize current knowledge of the literature on treatment of vestibular migraine. A review of the literature was conducted to collect all available published data on the treatment of vestibular migraine. The therapeutic approaches are based on case reports, retrospective cohort studies, and open-label trials from Medline search. Overall, 23 publications were related only to the specific treatment of vestibular migraine. Vestibular migraine remains still clinically under-diagnosed. Future studies are needed to understand the pathophysiological mechanisms and to introduce new effective therapies.
