VNG testing can uncover the root cause of your vertigo, dizziness, or balance issues. By tracking eye movements and their responses to various stimuli, VNG helps identify whether your symptoms are due to inner ear disorders, central nervous system problems, or other causes. This precise diagnosis is crucial for effective treatment.

The tests involved in VNG evaluate how well your inner ear (vestibular system) is functioning. This includes assessing how your inner ear responds to changes in position and movement. Identifying dysfunctions in the inner ear can help in treating conditions such as benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV), Meniere’s disease, and labyrinthitis.

VNG also examines the central motor functions of your brain that control eye movements and balance. This can help detect neurological conditions that might be contributing to your symptoms. Understanding the role of the central nervous system in your balance issues allows for a more comprehensive treatment approach.

The detailed information provided by VNG tests enables your healthcare provider to offer a vertigo treatment that treats it appropriately and effectively. This might include physical therapy (vestibular rehabilitation), medication, or other interventions tailored to your specific diagnosis.

VNG can be used to monitor the effectiveness of treatments for balance disorders. By comparing results from initial and follow-up tests, healthcare providers can assess how well the treatment is working and make necessary adjustments to improve outcomes.
