The vestibular system contributes significantly to cognitive processes. Our study aims to detect the possible differences in cognitive function between patients with vestibular migraine (VM) and patients with migraine headaches only (MO).MethodsThis was a cross-sectional study....

Discussion
Signed responses from readers of the wire.
Clinicians assessing patients with vestibular migraine should be aware of potential cognitive differences compared to headache-only migraine patients, though practice changes should await replication in larger studies.
Understanding whether vestibular migraine carries a distinct cognitive burden could influence multidisciplinary management and expand the audiologist's role in vestibular-migraine care pathways.
- 01Study compared cognitive function in vestibular migraine vs. migraine-headache-only patients.
- 02Vestibular migraine includes dizziness/balance symptoms on top of typical migraine headache.
- 03Examines whether the vestibular (balance) system independently contributes to cognitive changes.
- 04Published in Journal of Vestibular Research; cross-sectional design implied.
- 05Findings could inform referral patterns between audiology, neurology, and neuropsychology.
Patients with vestibular migraine differ in cognitive function compared to those with migraine headaches only.
