Issues in Cervical Vestibular-Evoked Myogenic Potentials
Blakley and Wong (2015) evaluated 48 normal patients without hearing loss and without vestibular complaints, all of whom underwent cervical vestibular-evoked myogenic potential (cVEMP) testing. The authors note that cVEMP is used to assess the sacular (and inferior vestibular nerve) response to loud sounds through measurement of sternocleidomastoid (SCM) activity.
