Abstract

Stress is part and parcel of our daily life. It is defined as a state of disharmony or threatened homeostasis. Stress can specifically influence several systems. Here we review the interactions of stress and thyroid hormone secretion and vestibular stimulation to suggest necessary translational research in this area. Vestibular stimulation may be used as a supplemental therapy for thyroid disorders. We suggest detailed studies in this area to explore importance of vestibular stimulation in the management of thyroid disorders.
