Objective:
To investigate the best time of the glycerol test on Meniere's disease patients.

Result:
The positive rate in the period of onset (83.3%) was far higher than in the period of intermission(43.1%), additionally, the positive rate is irrelevant to the degree of hearing impairing or the course of disease.
Conclusion:
The glycerol test should be carried out in the period of onset as possible as you can to the suspicious patients.
