Introduction:The Cervical Vestibular Myogenic Evoked Potential (cVEMP) has become a reliable and complementary measure of vestibular assessment. The investigation of vestibular disorders in the pediatric population is of great importance because they can have a series of repercussions throughout development. Purpose: To evaluate and analyze cVEMP responses in children and adolescents and compare them among gender, age, and ears. Methods: A cross-sectional study with 35 children and adolescents, 18 females and 17 males, aged 7 to 18 years, with normal hearing thresholds and no otoneurological complaints. All of them underwent a peripheral auditory evaluation and cVEMP. Results: In the analysis, it was observed that the mean latencies of P1 and N1 waves were, respectively, 15.92 ms and 24.32 ms, the amplitude P1/N1 of 36.91 µv and the symmetry ratio presented an average of 22.95%. No statistically significant differences were found comparing gender and ears. The same happened in the asymmetry index between genders. There were also no statistically significant differences in latencies and amplitudes. Conclusion: It was possible to measure values for latency and the amplitude of P1 and N1 waves in children and adolescents. In the present study, there was no statistically significant difference in the comparisons among ears, gender, and age.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
