        Background: Motion sickness (MS) and visually induced motion sickness (VIMS) are vestibular system-related conditions affecting balance. Objectives: To investigate the role of vestibular function and susceptibility in MS/VIMS in healthy college students and to evaluate the effectiveness of various vestibular function tests in detecting these disorders. Materials and methods: Five hundred young adults, grouped by motion sickness susceptibility questionnaire-short (MSSQ-S) and visually induced motion sickness susceptibility questionnaire-short (VIMSSQ-S) questionnaires, were further analyzed via continuous linear regression to validate the grouping strategy. The participants completed a caloric test (CT), video head impulse test (vHIT), dynamic visual acuity (DVA), subjective visual vertical/horizontal (SVV/SVH), and sensory organisation tests (SOT). Analysis of the relationship between the results of the five tests and the MS/VIMS. Results: CT revealed significant differences in right cold slow-phase velocity (RC SPV) and left cold slow-phase velocity (LC SPV) among groups (p < 0.001), with strong correlations between these values and MS/VIMS susceptibility (p < 0.05). Among 52 subjects with abnormal CT results, significant differences were found in vHIT, DVA, and SOT (p < 0.001), while SVV/SVH showed a significant difference only in MSSQ-S scores (p = 0.034). Conclusions and significance: This study comprehensively assessed vestibular function in MS and VIMS susceptible individuals, confirming increased sensitivity and highlighting the need for targeted evaluation strategies
        晕动症 (MS) 和视觉诱发晕动症 (VIMS) 是影响平衡的前庭系统相关疾病。 研究前庭功能和易感性对于健康大学生 MS/VIMS 的作用, 并评估各种前庭功能测试在检测这些疾病方面的有效性。 根据晕动症易感性问卷-简版 (MSSQ-S) 和视觉诱发晕动症易感性问卷-简版 (VIMSSQ-S) 问卷对 500 名年轻人进行分组, 并运用连续线性回归分析进行进一步分析, 以验证分组策略。参与者完成了热量测试 (CT)、视频头部脉冲测试 (vHIT)、动态视力 (DVA)、主观视觉垂直/水平 (SVV/SVH) 和感觉组织测试 (SOT)。分析五项测试结果与 MS/VIMS 之间的关系。 CT 显示各组间右侧冷慢相速度 (RC SPV) 和左侧冷慢相速度 (LC SPV) 存在显著差异 (p < 0.001), 这些值与 MS/VIMS 易感性之间存在很强的相关性 (p < 0.05)。在 52 名 CT 结果异常的受试者中, vHIT、DVA 和 SOT 存在显著差异 (p < 0.001), 而 SVV/SVH 显示仅在 MSSQ-S 评分中存在显著差异 (p = 0.034)。 本研究全面评估了 MS 和 VIMS 易感个体的前庭功能, 证实了敏感性的增加, 并突显有针对性的评估策略的必要性。
