Vestibular function in panic disorder patients: a vestibular-evoked myogenic potentials and video head impulse test study

ConclusionThe VEMPs and vHIT tests demonstrated that there is no evidence of hypofunction of the semicircular canals in the high-frequency spectrum of VOR functioning. Nor are there any indications of impairment of the otolith system in patients with PD, regardless of their subjective vestibular sensations. The findings of the current study confirm the proposed link between anxiety, panic symptoms and postural instability in PD patients.
