The authors assessed the natural course of benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) in 108 patients who were not treated with canalith repositioning procedure. The average number of days from onset to remission of positional vertigo in patients with posterior canal BPPV (P-BPPV) (39 days) was longer than in those with horizontal canal BPPV (H-BPPV) (16 days). The ratio of patients with H-BPPV to those with BPPV was 33%.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
