Background: The Epley or Semont maneuver is performed for posterior canal benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (PC-BPPV). The postural crisis indicates the phenomenon that the patient experiences severe dizziness, is unable to maintain the sitting posture, and suddenly falls backward or sideways on the examination table when returning to the sitting position, which is the final step of the canalith repositioning procedure (CRP). The postural crisis increases the risk of falls during CRP.

As a result, deviations of head angles from the standard may affect the treatment result.

Background: We present a feasibility study on the development of a 3D-printed (3DP) model of benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) and its validation as an educational tool for training in therapeutic maneuvers.

Methods: A 1.5:1 3DP model of the human labyrinth, supplemented by a 1:1 3DP model of the skull, was obtained from a computed tomography scan.

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.
