Vestibular Evoked Myogenic Potential

Vestibular Evoked Myogenic Potential (VEMP)

(Cvemp/Ovemp)

Vestibular Evoked Myogenic Potential (VEMP) testing assesses the function of the vestibular system, which is crucial for balance. There are two main types: Cervical VEMP (cVEMP) and Ocular VEMP (oVEMP). cVEMP measures muscle responses in the neck to sound stimuli, helping evaluate the saccule and vestibular nerve function. oVEMP assesses responses in the eyes, providing insights into the utricle and its neural pathways. Together, these tests help diagnose vestibular disorders and guide appropriate treatment strategies.
