[Abstract] Objective Voxel-based morphological analysis (VBM) was used to analyze the areas of gray matter changes in patients with vestibular migraine (VM), in order to provide new ideas in clinical pathophysiology. Materials andMethods In strict accordance with the inclusion and exclusion criteria, 17 VM patients and 20 healthy controls were recruited. All subjects underwent three-dimensional T1-weighted image magnetic resonance (MRI) scans of the head. VBM was used to compare the brain gray matter volume of the two groups to explore local gray matter changes related to the pathophysiology of the disease.Results Compared with the healthy control group, the gray matter volume of cerebellum, cerebellar vermis, anterior cingulate gyrus, middle orbital frontal gyrus, right temporal transverse gyrus, fusiform gyrus, right angular gyrus of VM patients decreased in VM group (P<0.001, FEW correction).Conclusion VM patients have multiple pain nociceptive and multisensory integrated brain regions with GM abnormalities. The central brain regions with volume changes may be involved in the pathophysiological mechanism of the disease.
