Visual Evoked Potential in Migraine with Aura | Chapter 1 | Medical Research and Its Applications Vol. 1

 Twelve percent of the world’s population suffers from migraines. A sizable portion of the world’s population suffers from migraines with aura. The purpose of this research is to describe the findings of a case-control study that was carried out to gain a better understanding of how migraine with aura manifests. The research looked at the P100 delay of the visual-evoked potential in both eyes of 92 healthy people and 44 patients who suffered from migraines with visual aura. All of the participants in the study were recruited from King Fahad University Hospital in Saudi Arabia. The information that was gathered was analyzed using SPSS Statistics version 21 and descriptive statistics were produced as a result. Both sets of people had the same ancestry and originated from the same location. Patients who suffered from migraines with aura exhibited a significantly shorter P100 delay in both eyes compared to healthy controls (p = 0.001), which is evidence that their early visual processing was distinct. In order to arrive at these findings, we compared people who suffer from migraines with aura to people who do not suffer from migraines and used them as subjects. This study might improve migraine treatment outcomes by understanding key biological processes and risk factors and creating personalized treatment plans that may help doctors to alleviate migraine symptoms and minimize their frequency and intensity. These findings also contribute to the ongoing attempts to bring the disease under control and provide vitally significant new information regarding the functioning of headaches with auras. The primary focus of study in the future should be on determining the nature of the connection between issues with early visual processing and headaches with aura.

Practicing Alternate Nostril Breathing on Long Run Affect P300 and Visual Evoked Potential among Medical Students | Chapter 14 | Issues and Developments in Medicine and Medical Research Vol. 1

 An important aspect of pranayama is alternate nostril breathing (ANB). Pranayama is a breathing practise that allows you to control your breathing. Alternate nostril breathing is known to modify cardiorespiratory parameters, evoked potentials, and cognition soon after practise (ANB). Though numerous studies have been conducted to determine the immediate effects of ANB, only a handful have been conducted among medical students in south India to determine its impact after six weeks of practise. As a result, this research was picked.

The goal was to record and compare VEP parameters and P300 in medical college students before and after 6 weeks of ANB.

Materials and Procedures: After receiving approval from the institution's ethical committee, both male and female volunteers gave their informed consent, ensuring that the inclusion and exclusion criteria were met. P300 auditory event related potential and visual evoked potential were obtained in 100 undergraduate medical college students in the department of Physiology before and after 6 weeks of practising ANB.

Results: Using SPSS 23, the VEP parameters and P300 were tabulated as MeanSD and evaluated. To compare the parameters before and after ANB, the students paired t test was performed. After ANB, the medical students' N2-P300 (V), P100 (ms), N75(ms), N145(ms), and N74-P100 (V) were shown to be significantly different. Male and female pupils were also compared using the unpaired test.

Discussion: Among medical students, regular practise of ANB was observed to improve the amplitude of P300, decrease latency, and raise the amplitude of VEP parameter.

Conclusion: Students were encouraged to practise pranayama on a regular basis to improve cognition, nerve conduction, and nerve fibre recruitment, as indicated by changes in P300 and VEP metrics.
