Objectives: To evaluate the efficacy of automatic benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) diagnosis and treatment system for BPPV compared with the manual repositioning group.
Methods: Two hundred thirty patients diagnosed as idiopathic BPPV who were admitted from August 2018 to July 2019 in Zhejiang Hospital were included. Among them, 150 patients of posterior semicircular canal BPPV(pc-BPPV), 53 patients of horizontal semicircular canal BPPV(hc-BPPV), and 27 patients of horizontal semicircular canal calculus (hc-BPPV-cu) were randomly treated with BPPV diagnosis and treatment system(the experimental group) or manual repositioning (the control group). Resolution of vertigo and nystagmus on the Dix-Hallpike and Roll test on day 3,day 7,day 14 and day 28 follow-up after first treatment was the main outcome measure to assess the efficacy of treatment.
Results: At 3-day and 7-day follow-up after treatment with BPPV diagnosis and treatment system, 79%, 91%had complete resolution of vertigo and nystagmus, the effective rate in the experimental group were significantly higher than those in the control group, the differences were statistically significant(P < .05). On day 14, the effective rate in the experimental group (96%) was slightly higher than that in the control group(91%), but there was no significant difference between the two groups. And at 28-day after the first treatment, the effective rate was 100% in the experimental group and the control group. The repositioning efficiency of pc-BPPV (the first, second, third treatment), hc-BPPV (the first, second, third treatment), hc-BPPV-cu(the first, second treatment) in the experimental group were higher than the control group, and the secondary reposition of pc-BPPV in the experimental group was significantly higher than the control group(96%vs.84%; P < .05). While for the hc-BPPV-cu patients, the effective rate of the third treatment in the experimental group was slightly lower than that of the control group, but the differences were not statistically significant.
Conclusions: BPPV diagnosis and treatment system is effective for the treatment of BPPV, with a better effective rate than those treated with manual maneuver, and is safe and easy to perform on patients.

Objective: To evaluate the plasma levels of the otoconial proteins, otoconin-90 and otolin-1, in individuals diagnosed with vestibular neuritis (VN) and determine the feasibility of using these proteins as biomarkers for VN.
Methods: In this preliminary study, 30 patients diagnosed with VN and 70 healthy individuals were recruited and followed to confirm whether they had benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) during the following time. The recorded data included measurements of height, weight, and history of diabetes mellitus or hypertension.

Background: Lateral semicircular canal BPPV (LC-BPPV) is diagnosed by the head roll test (HRT), in which the head is rotated to move particles in the lateral canal, causing nystagmus. The body roll test (BRT) is performed in a rolling position with the body and head together, which has the advantage of safely rotating the head at the correct angle in both directions. This study aims to assess the diagnostic utility of the body roll test (BRT).

Objective: To explore alterations in functional connectivity (FC) focusing on hippocampal subfields in benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) patients with residual dizziness (RD) after successful canalith repositioning procedure (CRP).
Methods: We conducted resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) on 95 BPPV patients, comprising 50 patients with RD and 45 without. Seed-to-voxel and seed-to-seed analyses were employed to examine changes in FC between the two groups.

Objectives: Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) is the most prevalent cause of vertigo. This study analyzes the risk factors involved in the occurrence and recurrence of BPPV.
Methods: A database maintained by the Korean National Health Insurance Service (NHIS) was used to enroll 434,552 patients diagnosed with BPPV from 2011 to 2017.
