Purpose of the guideline: | Vestibular Evoked Myogenic Potentials (VEMP) testing is a crucial method for assessing the function of the vestibular system, particularly the otolith organs. With increasing demands for the diagnosis and treatment of vestibular disorders, there is a corresponding need for precision and standardization in VEMP testing. Despite its widespread clinical use, inconsistencies remain concerning the methodologies, interpretation of results, and clinical applications of VEMP tests. Therefore, the development of a comprehensive clinical practice guideline is particularly important to ensure that medical professionals can perform VEMP tests according to standardized procedures, enhancing the reliability of test outcomes and optimizing patient management. This guideline aims to provide detailed operational guidance, result interpretation, and clinical application recommendations to support the further development of vestibular medicine. |
