A modification of the liberatory maneuver was used to treat 25 patients with benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV). The modified liberatory maneuver relieved symptoms without recurrence in 11 (44%) patients. A partial response was noted in 6 (24%) patients, and there was no improvement in...
patients; repositioning maneuvers fortunately make the condition very easy to treat in most people. Repositioning maneuvers take only five to ten minutes and successfully treat BPPV in 85 percent of patients in just a few treatments. BPPV occurs when tiny particles of calcium (canaliths) detach ...
The maneuver should be followed as instructed in the Half Somersault Maneuver video below. It helps make sure that the crystals are not going to fall on the horizontal/lateral semicircular canal as this may lead to horizontal spinning (horizontal canal BPPV) which would indicate complication and w...
Backgrounds: Although various therapeutic maneuvers have been proposed, it is still unclear which maneuver is better to treat apogeotropic horizontal canal benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (HC-BPPV). Objectives: This study aimed to assess the therapeutic efficacy of the cupulolith repositioning ...
Once a diagnosis of BPPV is made, treatment options such as the Epley maneuver and vestibular rehabilitation can be considered. Strong evidence exists for using the Epley maneuver to treat posterior canal BPPV. A meta-analysis conducted by the Cochrane Collaboration concluded that the Epley maneuver...
maneuver to treat cupulolithiasis on the utricle side. It is recommended that rapid head rotation can be used for therapeutic diagnosis: If nystagmus subsides immediately after this maneuver, the diagnosis is cupulolithias is on utricle side. If nystagmus changes into the geotropic form, the ...
If the diagnosis of BPPV has not been confirmed, one may be attempting to treat another condition (such as a brain tumor or stroke) with positional exercises -- this is unlikely to be successful and may delay proper treatment. A second problem is that the home-Epley requires knowledge of ...
The purpose of this study is to determine the ability of the modified Epley maneuver to treat BPPV. Study Design: Retrospective review. Methods: A retrospective chart review of 107 patients diagnosed with BPPV at our institution between March of 1993 and June of 1995. Each patient was diagnosed...
critical mass of evidence to treat bppv, many physicians have used a series of maneuvers that turn a patient's head in different directions, allowing gravity to draw the canaliths from the posterior semicircular canal to the vestibule, where they are absorbed. several maneuvers have been used ...
Problem: The literature has many papers that discuss the effectiveness of Epley's canalith repositioning maneuver to treat benign paroxysmal positional vertigo of the posterior semicircular canal, but few studies actually compare the maneuver's variations. We tested 2 variations on the maneuver, using...
