PROCEDURE

Left body temperature VS

Caloric vestibular stimulation (CVS), which involves the irrigation of cold or warm water into the external ear canal, induces a temperature gradient across the semicircular canals of the vestibular apparatus stimulating the vestibular nerve. It is commonly used in both otolaryngology to assess vestibular function and neurology to test brain stem function

PROCEDURE

Right body temperature VS

Caloric vestibular stimulation (CVS), which involves the irrigation of cold or warm water into the external ear canal, induces a temperature gradient across the semicircular canals of the vestibular apparatus stimulating the vestibular nerve. It is commonly used in both otolaryngology to assess vestibular function and neurology to test brain stem function

PROCEDURE

Left cold CVS

Caloric vestibular stimulation (CVS), which involves the irrigation of cold or warm water into the external ear canal, induces a temperature gradient across the semicircular canals of the vestibular apparatus stimulating the vestibular nerve. It is commonly used in both otolaryngology to assess vestibular function and neurology to test brain stem function
