Usefulness of galvanically induced nystagmus as a diagnostic test of peripheral vestibular hypofunction.

CONCLUSIONS: Since neither AUC is better than random discrimination, this study concludes that GVS-induced nystagmus is not useful as a diagnostic tool for unilateral peripheral vestibular hypofunction. These findings discourage the use of GVS-induced nystagmus in the clinical setting. PMID: 30347633 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
