Lateral semicircular canal-BPPV: Prospective randomized study on the efficacy of four repositioning maneuvers.

Introduction: Multiple repositioning maneuvers have been described to treat lateral semi-circular canal Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (LC-BPPV) patients. In this study, we compare efficacy of four therapeutic repositioning maneuvers for LC-BPPV patients and aim to identify clinical variables associated with persistent disease.

Material And Methods: A prospective study was conducted at a tertiary center, between January 2017 and September 2019.
