Objectives: The primary objective of this study was to evaluate how successful the reposition of retractable benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) was when treating patients with the Thomas Richard Vitton (TRV) reposition chair.
Materials And Methods: This is a prospective clinical trial. A total of 81 BPPV patients who were referred to the tertiary Balance - Dizziness Centre at the Department of Otolaryngology, Head - Neck Surgery and Audiology, Aalborg University Hospital, Denmark were included and analyzed. All the patients were diagnosed and treated with the TRV reposition chair.
Results: The patients were successfully treated after an average of 2.23 (± 1.66 SD) treatments with the TRV reposition chair. There was a significant difference between the number of treatments needed in the single semicircular canal group and the multicanal group. Seventeen (22.6%) of the patients experienced either dislocation of otoconia, relapse, or new onset of BPPV during the trial period. The number of patients with BPPV located to the anterior, lateral, and multiple semicircular canals in this study was significantly higher than that in similar studies. Six patients (7.4%) were classified as treatment failures.
Conclusion: We found the TRV reposition chair to be very successful in the diagnostics and treatment of patients with retractable and atypical BPPV. However, 7.4% experienced treatment failure.

Is diagnostics of Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo with a mechanical rotation chair superior to traditional manual diagnostics? A randomized controlled crossover study.

Background: Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV) is the most common cause of vertigo. While various techniques and technologies have improved BPPV diagnostics and treatment, optimizing BPPV healthcare pathways requires a comprehensive understanding of the diagnostic modalities across diverse clinical settings.
Objective: To compare traditional manual BPPV diagnostics (MD) with diagnostics done with the aid of a mechanical rotation chair (MRC) when using videonystagmography goggles with both modalities.

Introduction: A cupulolithiasis of the lateral semicircular canal is an accumulation of otolithic debris at the level of the cupula of the same canal. Its pathophysiology generally generates a specific clinical presentation. This situation can be very disabling for the patient and tricky to treat for the clinician.

: Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) stands as the most common cause of peripheral vertigo. Its treatment with repositioning maneuvers on an examination table is highly effective. However, patients with back or neck problems, paraplegia, or other conditions face challenges with these maneuvers, potentially experiencing longer healing times and creating additional difficulties for physicians diagnosing and treating BPPV in everyday practice.

Article Synopsis
- * Results showed that while FC scans generally produced lower muscle thickness measurements (decreasing by 2-3 mm), the intrarater reliability of muscle measurements was variable, with some methods demonstrating good to excellent reproducibility on repositioned scans.
- * The conclusion highlights that although the foam cast method provides more consistent results for certain measurements, it also shows variability in muscle architecture assessments and organization, which can affect data reliability.
