Application of vestibular evoked myogenic potentials in the diagnosis of Parkinson's disease

Abstract

Vestibular evoked myogenic potentials (VEMPs), a key electrophysiological technique, is extensively utilized for the clinical evaluation of vestibular function. Patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) often have vestibular dysfunction, with VEMPs abnormalities being the most common. Based on the brief introduction of VEMPs technique, this review summarizes the features of VEMPs abnormalities, its association with clinical phenotype and underlying pathophysiological basis in patients with PD, so as to provide guidance for clinical research and practical application.
