Vestibular Migraine: A Systematic Literature Search and Narrative Review of Diagnostic Criteria, Pathophysiology, Differential Diagnosis, and Treatment Approaches.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
This review aimed to summarize current evidence on the diagnostic criteria, pathophysiological mechanisms, differential diagnosis, and treatment approaches of vestibular migraine. A systematic literature search was conducted in PubMed/MEDLINE, Web of Science, and the Cochrane Library for studies published between May 2021 and May 2026. The search focused on vestibular migraine, migrainous vertigo, migraine-associated vertigo, diagnostic criteria, pathophysiology, treatment, prophylaxis, rehabilitation, and calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP)-related therapies. Study selection followed a PRISMA-informed process, and findings were synthesized narratively because of heterogeneity in study design, populations, interventions, and outcome measures. A total of 663 records were identified, and 72 studies were included in the final synthesis. Current evidence supports vestibular migraine as a complex disorder involving trigeminovascular activation, CGRP signaling, central sensitization, vestibulo-thalamo-cortical networks, and cerebellar compensation. Diagnosis remains primarily clinical and requires careful assessment of attack duration, vestibular symptom type, migraine-associated features, and exclusion of alternative vestibular or vascular disorders. Treatment evidence remains limited and heterogeneous. Lifestyle modification, conventional migraine prophylaxis, vestibular rehabilitation, and CGRP-targeted therapies may be useful in selected patients, but robust vestibular migraine-specific randomized trials are still insufficient. Vestibular migraine should be approached as a multisystem neurovestibular disorder rather than a simple coexistence of migraine and vertigo. Individualized, phenotype-based management and stronger controlled studies are needed to improve diagnostic accuracy and therapeutic decision-making.
