What this study found
Evidence from the included studies is of low or very low certainty, indicating an inadequate basis to determine the effectiveness of the interventions for reducing vestibular migraine symptoms or improving quality of life.
- Study & population
- Three studies included a total of 319 participants, all diagnosed with vestibular migraine.
- Intervention
- Non-pharmacological interventions assessed include probiotics, cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), and vestibular rehabilitation, each compared to a placebo or no treatment.
- Key limitation
- Small sample sizes, high drop-out rates, and low quality of evidence limit the ability to make definitive conclusions on the efficacy of the interventions evaluated.
