Data before slash are pretreatment; those after slash are posttreatment.

aVOR — angular vestibulo-ocular reflex; S — single-treatment group; M — multiple-treatment group: IHC — ipsilateral horizontal canal; IAC — ipsilateral anterior canal; IPC — ipsilateral posterior canal; HTT — head thrust test; ND — not done.

a

Plus sign indicates appearance of relaxation saccade on HTT, suggesting to clinical examiner deficit in horizontal aVOR; minus sign indicates no refixation saccade, indicating clinically normal horizontal aVOR.

b

Unilateral vestibular weakness calculated by formula of Jongkees et al.14

c

Data are 6 months pretreatment (before slash) and either 6 months posttreatment or until second treatment (after slash).

d

Data are number of months after initial treatment until subjects received additional treatments.

e

Subject had no response to ice-water irrigation.
