UNLABELLED Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV) is a frequent cause of dizziness and despite of the excellent results with its treatment, there is some controversy about management. AIM To assess the efficacy of Epley Maneuver with and without post-maneuver restrictions. STUDY DESIGN Prospective randomized. MATERIAL AND METHOD Fifty patients presenting BPPV of the posterior semicircular canal, treated with Epley Maneuver and divided into two groups: study group--23 patients--with post-maneuver restrictions, and control group--27 patients--without post-maneuver restrictions. RESULTS No significant difference was found between the studied and the control group. CONCLUSION Post-maneuver restrictions do not influence the efficacy of Epley Maneuver for BPPV management.
