This work has shown that children showing a high incidence of vasovagal syncope during head-up tilt are more susceptible to motion sickness, arguing strongly for a vestibular contribution to both conditions.

In most cases, motion sickness can be prevented by behavioral and environmental modifications (avoidance, habituation, and minimization of motion stimuli).
Space and Entry Motion Sickness

One of the most significant clinical and operational challenges experienced by spaceflight crews during the first few days in weightlessness is space motion sickness (SMS), which can range from being mildly distracting to physically debilitating.
A New Vestibular Stimulation Mode for Motion Sickness With Emphatic Analysis of Pica
- BiologyFrontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience

It is indicated that the present setup could effectively elicit motion sickness in rat by disturbing vestibular signals in rat in the context of well-controlled proprioceptive inputs and lack of visual afference.
Higher Asymmetry Ratio and Refixation Saccades in Individuals with Motion Sickness
- MedicineJournal of the American Academy of Audiology
- 2018
Assessment of the sacculocollic reflex pathway and six semicircular canals in individuals susceptible to motion sickness revealed no significant difference for cVEMP latencies and amplitude in individuals with motion sickness, however, significantly higher cV EMP asymmetry ratio was observed in individualsWith motion sickness.

The authors experience vigorous vestibular stimulation when they run, jump, or dance, but these activities almost never make us sick; some forms of motion sickness were recognized in which head and body motion is normal or even absent (flight simulator and Cinerama sickness).

Seven of the symptoms and eight of the parameters under study were found to be significantly associated with each other, suggesting that they are unlikely to pose a risk to the crew during landing and the post-flight period.
