There is some here:
https://www.w3.org/WAI/GL/wiki/Animation_caused_by_user_interaction#Background 

It isn’t extensive (in relation to web design), but given the existence of several organisations dedicated to vestibular disorders, and the fact that Apple got enough feedback about those issues to add settings to iOS, we know it affects quite a lot of people. Therefore it should have similar importance/impact as the current animation one.

The interviews and examples in the page provide details about what type of things are triggers, it is just how to phrase it.

Cheers,
