Identify the test type

The question asks what cervical Vestibular Evoked Myogenic Potential (cVEMP) testing primarily evaluates.

Analyze cVEMP physiology

The cVEMP is an ipsilateral inhibitory reflex recorded from the tonically contracted sternocleidomastoid (SCM) muscle in response to high-level acoustic stimulation.

Determine the target organ

The neural pathway of the cVEMP reflex begins at the saccule, travels through the inferior vestibular nerve, to the vestibular nuclei, and down the medial vestibulospinal tract to the SCM muscle. Therefore, cVEMP primarily assesses saccule function.

Compare with other options

• Utricle function is primarily evaluated by ocular VEMP (oVEMP) testing.
• Horizontal semicircular canal function is primarily evaluated by caloric testing or the video head impulse test (vHIT).
• Cochlear function is evaluated by audiometry, otoacoustic emissions (OAEs), or electrocochleography (ECochG).
