    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Radiology

    Context:

    • Chernobyl catastrophe liquidators and personnel exhibit a high prevalence of migraine.
    • Low-dose radiation exposure (≤0.5 rem) is a factor in this patient population.

    Purpose:

    • To investigate the characteristics of migraine with a vestibular component in Chernobyl-affected individuals.
    • To evaluate the effectiveness of specific treatments for this patient group.

    Summary:

    • 803 middle-aged patients, including Chernobyl NPP personnel, liquidators, and Pripyat evacuees, were examined.
    • Utilized methods included vestibular tests, nistagmography, cardiography, and evoked potentials.
    • Nearly all subjects showed vestibular dysfunction, with 92.4% reporting headaches, 35% experiencing typical migraines, and associated symptoms like asthenization and vegetative disturbances.

    Impact:

    • Identifies migraine with a vestibular component as a significant health issue in the Chernobyl-exposed population.
    • Highlights histamine blocking agents, specifically dimenhydrinate and Betaserc, as effective therapeutic options.
