Introduction: Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) is one of the most common causes of peripheral vertigo and can manifest in different forms. Multicanal BPPV is rare and difficult to treat. TRV Chair is a method that offers diagnosis and treatment at the same time. The aim was to analyze the outcomes of treatment of multicanal BPPV by means of TRV Chair and compare those results with manual maneuvers.
Methods: Forty-nine subjects aged 26-73 and diagnosed with multicanal BPPV were included. Appropriate maneuvers were performed on affected canals either by TRV Chair or manually. The number of maneuvers required by TRV Chair and manual maneuver were analyzed and compared.
Results: The mean number of maneuvers performed until the treatment was completed in manual treatment group was 2.57 ± 1.03, and in TRV group, it was 2.25 ± 1.16. No significant difference was observed between the number of maneuvers performed in either group until the end of the treatment (p > 0.05).
Discussion/conclusions: Neither TRV Chair nor manual maneuvers were superior to the other in the treatment of multicanal BPPV cases.

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.

<b><br>Introduction:</b> Vertigo is a subjective sensation of swaying, tilting, spinning, instability, or being off-balance [1]. The concept of vertigo is not a precise term due to the possibility of its being related to numerous variable, frequently co-occurring sensations as experienced by the patient. For this reason, diagnosing the origin of vertigo quite frequently poses a serious dilemma for physicians.
