Menier's Disease - Bone Density Study

Measuring vitamin D plasma levels at baseline

Measuring T-score and Z-score of the femur and lumbar spine at baseline

cVEMP is a vestibular test for saccular function, an otolith organ in the inner ear. the electrical response of the stermocledomastoid muscle to saccular stimulation is measured via two distinct waves - P13 and N23. the latency, amplitude and peak to peak amplitude will be measured.

hearing measurement will be performed. Hearing level in dB will be performed in the 250-8,000 Hz frequency. The test includes Speech reception threshold and word recognition score.

blood pressure will be measure two minutes after lying supine and repeated 3 minutes after standing. A drop of at least 20mmHg systolic pressure or at least 10mmHg diastolic blood pressure is considered a positive test

The cold pressor test is an indicator for sympathetic system function. A rise of at least 15mmHg of systolic pressure after putting the subject's hand in cold water (4 deg Celsius) is indicative of normal sympathetic function.

Measuring vitamin D plasma levels one year after recruitment

Measuring vitamin D plasma levels two years after recruitment

Measuring T-score and Z-score of the femur and lumbar spine one year after recruitment

Measuring T-score and Z-score of the femur and lumbar spine two years after recruitment
