Comparing the Suppression Head Impulse Paradigm and the Head Impulse Paradigm in Vestibular Neuritis
Objective:
To compare the results of suppression head impulse paradigm (SHIMP) and head impulse paradigm (HIMP) in acute vestibular neuritis (AVN).
Study Design:
Retrospective study.
Setting:
Tertiary otology clinic.
Patients and Interventions:
We tested 21 patients with AVN with the HIMP, SHIMP, and caloric tests, and we analyzed the relationships between the tests’ results.
Main Outcome Measures:
For this study, we adopted vestibulo-ocular reflex (VOR) gains in the SHIMP and HIMP, peak saccade velocity (PSV) of SHIMP which is another indicator of residual vestibular function, and canal paresis of caloric test.
Results:
VOR gains showed significant correlation (R2 = 0.926, p
