Electrical vestibular stimulation in humans. A narrative review
Background: In patients with bilateral vestibulopathy, the
regular treatment options, such as medication, surgery, and/
or vestibular rehabilitation, do not always suffice. Therefore,
the focus in this field of vestibular research shifted to electri-
cal vestibular stimulation (EVS) and the development of a
system capable of artificially restoring the vestibular func-
tion. Key Message: Currently, three approaches are being
investigated: vestibular co-stimulation with a cochlear im-
