Abstract

Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) is a common condition that often resolves spontaneously, but can cause significant distress to a patient. 60 patients of BPPV of posterior semicircular canal (canalithiasis type) were submitted to vestibular habituation training, or canalith repositioning manoeuver (modified Epley’s manoeuver), its aim is to relocate free floating particles from the posterior semicircular canal into the utricle, where they will no longer cause vertiginous symptoms, or submitted to medication with antivertigenous drugs, or no intervention. This study aim to examine their efficacy. The patients were followed up weekly by reported symptoms (subjectively) and Hallpike test. The highest resolution rate was belonged to the repositioning manoeuver. Therefore, the repositioning manoeuver (based on that devised by Epley) is the most effective in treating BPPV, moreover the ease with which it is administered, and the avoidance of repetitive of vertigo as required by V.H.T.
