Abstract
Purpose of review
To discuss the theory that Meniere's disease (MD) is a variation of otologic migraine rather than an isolated inner ear condition.
Recent findings
In contrast to the approximately 12% of the general population suffering from migraine headaches, 51–60% of patients with MD experience migraine headaches. While pathognomonic for MD, endolymphatic hydrops has also been identified in patients with vestibular migraine. Treatment with the integrative neurosensory rehabilitation approach (diet and lifestyle changes, magnesium and riboflavin supplementation, and when needed, prophylactic medication) to treat the underlying migraine process has been highly effective in patients with MD.
Summary
MD can be understood as a manifestation of migraine such that patients with MD can be effectively treated with migraine therapies.
