title: [Application of ocular-vestibular evoked myogenic potentials in patients with Meniere's disease].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To evaluate the reliability and the value of clinical application of ocular-vestibular evoked myogenic potentials in the patients with Meniere's disease.
  
  
  METHODS
  Thirty healthy people (control group) and Twenty-seven patients with lateral Meniere's disease (therapy group) were underwent clinical audiological audiometer test and the ocular-vestibular evoked myogenic potential test.
  
  
  RESULTS
  In the control group, the average potential of n10 wave was (10.13 +/- 0.48)ms, and the average potential of p15 wave was (15.23 +/- 0.46)ms. The average amplitude of n10-peak to p15-peak were (6.58 +/- 2.65) microV. According to the control group, eight patients had abnormal waveform, and nineteen with normal in the therapy group.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The oVEMPs test is a modest stimulus to the subject which is brief, safe and objective. It represented the function of the utricle and the superior vestibular nerve, the procedure is easily repeatable and acceptable, and worthily applied in patients with Meniere's disease.
