Motion sickness.
Motion sickness is a common phenomenon affecting most patients at some point in life. Car sickness, airsickness, seasickness, and space sickness all involve a neural mismatch or confusion between the vestibular, visual, and proprioceptive systems that produces the symptoms of motion sickness. Therapy is directed toward decreasing conflicting sensory input, controlling nausea, and speeding the process of adaptation.
