    The novel Cold mini caloric test offers a time-saving alternative for vestibular assessment. This simple bedside procedure yields comparable clinical information to the standard Bithermal caloric test for diagnosing dizziness and vestibular disorders.

    Area of Science:

    • Otolaryngology
    • Neurology
    • Vestibular System Diagnostics

    Background:

    • Vestibular testing is crucial for diagnosing dizziness and balance disorders.
    • Traditional Bithermal caloric testing is time-consuming and requires specialized equipment.
    • A need exists for simpler, faster vestibular assessment methods in clinical practice.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To introduce and evaluate a novel, simplified vestibular function test.
    • To compare the efficacy of the Cold mini caloric test with the established Bithermal caloric test.

    Main Methods:

    • The Cold mini caloric test involves applying ice-cold water-soaked cotton wool to the tympanic membrane.
    • Quantitative comparison with Bithermal caloric testing was performed.
    • Patient cohorts included normal controls, dizzy patients, Menière's disease, acoustic neuroma, and vestibular neuronitis cases.

    Main Results:

    • The Cold mini caloric test produced nystagmic reactions similar to the Bithermal caloric test.
    • Nystagmic reactions were consistently observed, albeit slightly shorter in duration.
    • Both methods provided equivalent clinical information for diagnosis.

    Conclusions:

    • The Cold mini caloric test is a simple, time-saving, and effective method for vestibular assessment.
    • It offers comparable diagnostic utility to the Bithermal caloric test for various vestibular conditions.
    • This test presents a practical alternative for routine clinical use in diagnosing dizziness.
