Abstract
Background and Aim: Several studies revealed that motion sickness is among the disorders that usually occurs with migraine. The aim of the present study was to compare the motion sickness score in vestibular migraine and non-vestibular migraine using the Persian version of Motion Sickness Susceptibility Questionnaire-short form (MSSQ-Short).
Materials and Methods: Participants suffering from vestibular migraine and non-vestibular migraine were studied from October 2015 to May 2016. International Classification of Headache Disorder III (beta version) was used for diagnosing the type of migraine, and also MSSQ-Short for earning the score of motion sickness susceptibility.
Results: MSSQ-score was obtained to be 16.8±12.85 in vestibular migraine and 11.5±11.38 in non-vestibular migraine. The difference was statistically significant (p=0.044).
Conclusion: In vestibular migraine, MSSQ-score was significantly more than that in non-vestibular migraine.
