Objectives

Narrative objectives1

Cervical vestibular evoked myogenic potential (cVEMP) is a myogenic response recorded in the ipsilateral sternocleidomastoid muscle in response to auditory stimulation. Although it is a response to auditory stimulation, it is a unique reaction originating from the saccule of the vestibular system. We have previously studied the frequency response of cVEMP and reported on its clinical applications. Recently, cVEMP using amplitude-modulated (AM) sound stimulation (AMcVEMP) has been reported, and its clinical application is expected. In this study, we attempted to record AMcVEMP at our facility and considered the significance of AMcVEMP.

Assessment

Primary outcomes

The recorded electromyographic data is analyzed approximately one day later to examine the frequency specificity and assess the function of the saccule.

Interventions/Control_1

The subjects will be provided with an explanation of the study based on the instruction manual, and their consent will be obtained. The modulated wave will be generated using a frequency counter signal source module. The carrier wave will be set at 500 Hz, and the modulated waves will be set at 17 Hz, 23 Hz, 37 Hz, 113 Hz, and 211 Hz, with 100% modulation. The sound pressure level will be set to 95 dB LA. The sound will be delivered to both ears via insert earphones.

As with the existing cVEMP measurements, the reference electrode will be placed at the mid-point between the sternal head attachment of the sternocleidomastoid muscle and the mastoid process, the ground electrode will be placed on the forehead, and the exploration electrode will be placed at the sternal head attachment of the sternocleidomastoid muscle. To ensure muscle tension in the sternocleidomastoid muscle, the subject will be positioned supine, with their neck rotated away from the side of the sound stimulation. Electromyography will be measured using the Neuro Pack system. The bandpass filter will be set to 20 Hz to 2 kHz. Responses to 1-second stimulation tones will be averaged over 100 trials. Electromyography will also be measured under conditions with no sound stimulation, typical cVEMP, and with only the carrier wave. The total duration of the procedure will be approximately one hour.
