For example, dizziness or vestibular instabilities often accompany the menstrual cycle and are highly associated with the pre-menopause period, while sex hormones, together with their specific receptors, are expressed at key places of the vestibular sensory network. Similarly, other hormones may be associated with vestibular disorders either as causal\/inductive factors or as correlates of the pathology. This review was carried out according to the PRISMA method, covering the last two decades and using the MEDLINE and COCHRANE databases in order to identify studies associating the terms vestibular system and\/or vestibular pathologies and hormones. Our literature search identified 646 articles, 67 of which referred directly to vestibular dysfunction associated with hormonal variations. While we noted specific hormonal profiles depending on the pathology considered, very few clinical studies attempted to establish a direct link between the expression of the vestibular syndrome and the level of circulating hormones. This review also proposes different approaches to shed new light on the link between hormones and vestibular disorders, and to improve both the diagnosis and the therapeutic management of dizzy patients.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/cells12040656","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,2,20]],"date-time":"2023-02-20T05:27:01Z","timestamp":1676870821000},"page":"656","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":36,"title":["Vestibular Disorders and Hormonal Dysregulations: State of the Art and Clinical Perspectives"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"12","author":[{"given":"Rhizlane","family":"El Khiati","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Aix Marseille University\u2014Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS), Laboratory of Cognitive Neurosciences, UMR7291, Team Pathophysiology and Therapy of Vestibular Disorders, 13331 Marseille, France"},{"name":"Research Group on Vestibular Pathophysiology, Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS), Unit GDR2074, 13331 Marseille, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6125-3760","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Brahim","family":"Tighilet","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Aix Marseille University\u2014Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS), Laboratory of Cognitive Neurosciences, UMR7291, Team Pathophysiology and Therapy of Vestibular Disorders, 13331 Marseille, France"},{"name":"Research Group on Vestibular Pathophysiology, Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS), Unit GDR2074, 13331 Marseille, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"St\u00e9phane","family":"Besnard","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Aix Marseille University\u2014Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS), Laboratory of Cognitive Neurosciences, UMR7291, Team Pathophysiology and Therapy of Vestibular Disorders, 13331 Marseille, France"},{"name":"Research Group on Vestibular Pathophysiology, Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS), Unit GDR2074, 13331 Marseille, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3932-0223","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Christian","family":"Chabbert","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Aix Marseille University\u2014Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS), Laboratory of Cognitive Neurosciences, UMR7291, Team Pathophysiology and Therapy of Vestibular Disorders, 13331 Marseille, France"},{"name":"Research Group on Vestibular Pathophysiology, Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS), Unit GDR2074, 13331 Marseille, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,2,18]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"67","DOI":"10.1007\/s002329900538","article-title":"Beta1-adrenergic receptors but not beta2-adrenergic or vasopressin receptors regulate K+ secretion in vestibular dark cells of the inner ear","volume":"170","author":"Wangemann","year":"1999","journal-title":"J.
