Rapid Systematic Review of the Epley Maneuver versus Vestibular Rehabilitation for Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo.

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effectiveness of the Epley maneuver compared with vestibular rehabilitation on patient-reported symptom relief and conversion of the Dix-Hallpike from positive to negative in patients with posterior benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (p-BPPV). DATA SOURCES PubMed, Embase, and the Cochrane Library. REVIEW METHODS A systematic search was conducted. Studies reportin...

Effect of Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo on Auditory-Verbal Memory

Background and Objective: Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) is the most common cause of vertigo with peripheral origin, and its psychologic consequences frequently ignored by clinicians. In this regard, the present study aimed to investigate the effects of BPPV on patient auditory-verbal memory. Materials and Methods: In this cross-sectional study, a total of 40 volunteer patients wi...

[Efficacy of Epley maneuver in treatment of benign paroxysmal positional vertigo of the posterior semicircular canal].

BACKGROUND/AIM Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo is one of the most frequent peripheral vestibular system disorders. The aim of this study was to examine the efficacy of the Epley maneuver in treating benign paroxysmal positional vertigo of the posterior semicircular canal (p-BPPV) and to discover possible causes of failure. METHODS This prospective study included 75 patients. In all the c...

Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo.

Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) is the most common cause of recurrent vertigo and has a lifetime prevalence of 2.4% in the general population. Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo is caused when calcium carbonate material originating from the macula of the utricle falls into one of the semicircular canals. Due to their density relative to the endolymph, they move in response to grav...
