What is the role of Desmopressin (DDAVP) in vestibular disorders?

From the Research

Desmopressin (DDAVP) in Vestibular Disorders

There are no research papers to assist in answering this question, as the provided studies focus on the use of desmopressin in bleeding disorders, hemophilia, and von Willebrand disease, with no mention of its role in vestibular disorders.

Alternative Uses of Desmopressin

Some studies suggest that desmopressin may have potential uses beyond bleeding disorders, including:

• Renal colic and bleeding control 1
• Central nervous system and oncology 1
• Nocturnal polyuria, diabetes insipidus, and uremic bleeding 2
• Management of intracranial bleed and trauma resuscitation with active hemorrhage 2

Mechanism of Action

Desmopressin works by:

• Stimulating the release of factor VIII and von Willebrand factor from storage sites 2
• Facilitating platelet-vessel wall adhesion, resulting in a substantial hemostatic effect 2
• Increasing the plasma levels of factor VIII and von Willebrand factor 3, 4, 5
