Purpose: Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) is a vestibular disorder causing recurrent episodes of vertigo. Despite symptom resolution at discharge, events such as relapses, migraines, neck pain, falls, and persistent postural-perceptual dizziness (PPPD) may occur. This study aims to estimate the incidence, timing, and risk factors for these symptoms.

Unlabelled: Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) is a common vestibular disorder characterized by brief episodes of vertigo triggered by changes in head position. Epley's manoeuvre and Semont's manoeuvre are widely used canalith repositioning procedures for the treatment of BPPV. This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of these two manoeuvres in treating post-canal BPPV in a cohort of 100 patients.

Introduction: Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) is the most common cause of peripheral vertigo among adults. Successful treatment often requires an appropriate canalith repositioning procedure (CRP), which has proven effective in the treatment of BPPV. However, some patients experience residual dizziness (RD) after CRP, affecting their daily activities and quality of life.

Article Synopsis
  • Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) is a condition that causes brief episodes of dizziness due to calcium crystals moving into the semicircular canals of the inner ear.
  • A 33-year-old woman diagnosed with BPPV experienced neck pain and dizziness, confirmed by the positive Dix-Hallpike maneuver during her evaluation.
  • Treatment with canalith repositioning maneuver (CRM) and physiotherapy led to reduced pain, improved range of motion, and decreased vertigo episodes, enhancing her quality of life.

Background: To examine the effectiveness of 3D (dimensional)-vestibular rehabilitation therapy (VRT) on gait, balance problems, processing time speed and subjective complaints in patients with Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV) compared to a control group (CG). This study aimed to test the feasibility of virtual reality-based 3D exergaming conjunction with vestibular rehabilitation.

Methods: Twenty-two patients with BPPV (negative DixHallpike/Roll test results, existing dizziness/balance complaints) were randomly allocated to the study group (SG, n:11 3D-VRT) or Control group (CG n:11, no exercise-rehabilitation) for 8 week.

Despite the high success rate of canalith repositioning maneuvers (CRMs) in the treatment of benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV), a growing number of patients report residual dizziness symptoms that may last for a significant time. Although the majority of BPPV cases can be explained by canalolithiasis, the etiology is complex. Consideration of the individual patient's history and underlying pathophysiology of BPPV may offer the potential for treatment approaches supplementary to CRMs, as well as a promising alternative for patients in whom CRMs are contraindicated.

Objective: To evaluate otolithic functions in patients with residual dizziness after successful canalith repositioning procedures (CRPs) for unilateral posterior canal benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV), and to investigate possible risk factors.

Methods: This case-control observational study included healthy controls and patients with residual dizziness after improvement following CRP for BPPV. All participants were subjected to full history taking, otoscopy, audiological basic evaluation, Dix-Hallpike test to search for posterior canal BPPV, residual dizziness screening, and vestibular evoked myogenic potential (VEMP) testing.

Dizziness in Primary Care.

Prim Care

June 2024

Department of Neurology, Ohio State University, 395 West 12th Avenue, 7th Floor, Columbus, OH 43210, USA. Electronic address:

Dizziness is a prevalent symptom in the general population and is among the most common reasons patients present for medical evaluations. This article focuses on high yield information to support primary clinicians in the efficient and effective evaluation and management of dizziness. Key points are as follows: do not anchor on the type of dizziness symptom, do use symptom timing and prior medical history to inform diagnostics probabilities, do evaluate for hallmark examination findings of vestibular disorders, and seek out opportunities to deliver evidence-based interventions particularly the canalith repositioning maneuver and gaze stabilization exercises.

To explore the clinical value of supine median³ nystagmus in the accurate diagnosis of horizontal semicircular canal benign paroxysmal positional vertigo(HC-BPPV). A total of 187 patients with HC-BPPV admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Xi'an Jiaotong University from June 2020 to March 2021 were selected. Among them 42 cases of Cupulolithiasis and 145 cases of Canalithiasis.

Objective: To assess changes in static and dynamic functional network connectivity (sFNC and dFNC) and explore their correlations with clinical features in benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) patients with residual dizziness (RD) after successful canalith repositioning maneuvers (CRM) using resting-state fMRI.

Methods: We studied resting-state fMRI data from 39 BPPV patients with RD compared to 38 BPPV patients without RD after successful CRM. Independent component analysis and methods of sliding window and k-means clustering were adopted to investigate the changes in dFNC and sFNC between the two groups.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates why some patients with benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) do not respond to the standard Epley maneuver, suggesting that individual anatomical differences in the membranous labyrinth may play a significant role.
  • Using advanced 3D imaging and mathematical modeling, researchers simulated the Epley maneuver to analyze the movement of otoconia (tiny particles) and fluid within the labyrinth.
  • The findings showed that otoconia often fail to reach the desired location, indicating that longer resting times and alternative rotation angles may enhance treatment effectiveness by preventing complications.

Hybrid maneuver for benign paroxysmal positional vertigo in individuals with limited neck mobility: Case series.

Introduction: Mobility limitation of the cervical spine compromises the adequate execution of the canalith repositioning maneuver (CRM) in cases of posterior semicircular canal benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (PSC-BPPV-GEO). Thus, novel therapeutic options are required for such individuals.

Objectives: This study describes the effects of a change in the biomechanical position for the execution of the CRM on symptoms of dizziness and mobility limitation regarding flexion-extension of the cervical spine in older people with unilateral PSC-BPPV-GEO.

Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) represents the most frequent cause of peripheral vertigo. In most cases, it is successfully treated using the canalith repositioning procedure, but it is often followed by continuous lightheadedness in the absence of vertigo or nystagmus (residual dizziness, RD). Our aim is to describe the clinical effectiveness and the urine metabolomics profile of treating these patients with polyphenol compound supplementation.

Objective: To evaluate the effect of vitamin D supplementation on the recurrence rate of benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV).

Methods: A single-center, prospective, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group randomized controlled trial was conducted between November 2018 and May 2020. After successful treatment with canalith repositioning maneuvers, patients diagnosed with BPPV were randomized to either the vitamin D ( = 20) or placebo ( = 18) group.

Rationale: Horizontal semicircular canal benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (HSC-BPPV) is a second common canal of Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV); its actual incidence may have been underestimated because of its complex pathogenesis. Although the canalith repositioning maneuver is the treatment of choice, it has a high recurrence rate, affecting some patients' lives and psychology. We submit a case report describing acupuncture and wheat grain moxibustion treatment for HSC-BPPV.

Introduction: Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) is a common condition with disabling symptoms that is diagnosed and effectively treated at the bedside. Our encounter with patients experiencing prolonged BPPV who may not have received appropriate physical therapy prompted us to explore barriers to the diagnosis and treatment for BPPV among physical therapists, which has not been extensively investigated. We hypothesize that a potential barrier may be a lack of understanding of subtle symptoms of BPPV that deviate from the classical presentation.
