Conclusion: The findings suggest that in patients with posterior semicircular canal (PSCC) benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (P-BPPV), head trauma and prolonged bedrest, but not inner ear disease, are risk factors for poor outcome of a single Epley maneuver and persistent residual positional vertigo.
Objectives: We first examined the efficacy of a single Epley maneuver and then assessed the time course in remission of residual positional vertigo in patients with idiopathic P-BPPV and secondary P-BPPV.
Methods: A total of 157 patients with idiopathic P-BPPV and 40 patients with secondary P-BPPV (secondary to head trauma in 8 patients, to prolonged bedrest in 14 patients, and to inner ear disease in 18 patients) were treated with a single Epley maneuver.
Results: The negative rates of the Dix-Hallpike test on day 7 after a single Epley maneuver in both patients with P-BPPV secondary to head trauma (25%) and those with prolonged bedrest (36%) were significantly lower than that (73%) in patients with idiopathic P-BPPV. Additionally, the remission of residual positional vertigo in the former groups of patients was significantly delayed in comparison with that of the latter group. However, there were no significant differences in the efficacy of a single Epley maneuver and persistent residual positional vertigo between idiopathic P-BPPV and P-BPPV secondary to inner ear disease.

The objectives of our study were to assess the effectiveness of the single Epley manoeuvre per session for three consecutive days and to determine the protocol for treating posterior canal-Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (pc-BPPV). At our tertiary care centre, 410 patients with a confirmed diagnosis of unilateral pc-BPPV were included in a prospective observational study. For all the participants, the Epley manoeuvre was performed once daily for three consecutive days.

Article Synopsis
- This study aimed to identify the genetic causes and associations between genotype and phenotype in patients with unsolved ocular congenital cranial dysinnervation disorders (oCCDDs).
- Researchers analyzed data from 467 individuals with oCCDDs using exome or genome sequencing, revealing pathogenic variants in 43 probands and variants of uncertain significance in 70 others.
- The findings highlight the genetic diversity of oCCDDs and suggest that they may overlap with other genetic conditions, paving the way for further research on potential genetic links.

Background: Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) is the most common peripheral vestibular condition characterized by short-term vertigo attacks that significantly affect quality of life.
Objectives: Examine how well a single Epley maneuver worked in an outpatient setting for people with posterior canal benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (PC-BPPV) and whether they needed a second Dix-Hallpike maneuver.
Design: Prospective.

Objective: To compare the repositioning effect of the modified Epley maneuver and the traditional Epley maneuver for posterior semicircular canal benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (PC-BPPV).
Methods: Sixty-five patients with unilateral PC-BPPV were randomly divided into two groups. The control group received the traditional Epley maneuver, while the experimental group received the modified Epley maneuver, which prolonged the time in the healthy side lying position and the final bowing position.
