Description
Meiqi Di and five co-authors pool studies on thinking problems in vestibular migraine, in a 2026 review and meta-analysis. The condition is a top cause of repeated vertigo, and many patients report brain fog and slow thought. The team searched one database for studies from 2010 to 2025 that tested thinking skills in adults with the condition. Six studies passed the screen, and four fed the main pooled sums.
Patients scored well below healthy peers on overall thinking tests, by a large margin. Tests of executive control, the mind's steering skills, also pointed to a large gap, though those data varied more. About three in four patients met their study's bar for impairment. The authors back routine thinking checks in care for this condition. They ask for standard tests and work on causes in future studies.
