This 2-year follow-up study (Front Neurol. 2022 Sept) by Striteska et al. examined how head-shaking-induced nystagmus (HSN) reflects vestibular compensation after unilateral peripheral vestibular loss.


Key findings:

  • HSN decreases over time as compensation improves.

  • Well-compensated patients showed normal HSN levels despite persistent caloric and vHIT abnormalities.

  • Persistent HSN in poorly compensated patients suggests incomplete recovery.

  • HSN could serve as an objective marker of stable unilateral vestibular loss.


Thanks to the authors for this valuable research.
