“…The majority of the patients have posterior canal BPPV, while lateral canal BPPV is rare. In one study involving 204 patients [2], 163 had posterior SCC BPPV, while only 19 had the lateral SCC variant and 6 patients had the anterior canal variant (Korres et al, 2007). Patients of BPPV usually present with a typical history of short-lasting episodes of vertigo, which is characteristically precipitated by sudden changes in head position, like rolling over in bed, lying down or getting up from bed, suddenly looking up, etc.…”

Aim (1) To evaluate the role of vestibular exercises in the management of benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV). (2) To compare the three vestibular exercises (Semont`s manoeuvre, Epley`s manoeuvre or Brandt-Daroff exercises) in the treatment of BPPV. Settings and Design Prospective randomised studyMethods and Material Fourty-eight patients diagnosed as BPPV in the study period November 2005-2006 were included in the study. They were randomly assigned to one of three groups, and the corresponding manoeuvre was done on them. Follow-up were at 2 weeks and 3 months.Results Thirty-five of the 48 patients (72.91%) reported relief of symptoms at 2 weeks and no recurrence of symptoms at 3 months. Result was best for the group which was subjected to the Epley manoeuvre (87.5%).Conclusions Performance of any of the three manoeuvres can be expected to give good results in the management of BPPV. The Epley manoeuvre appears to be better than the other two in terms of relief of symptoms and prevention of recurrence.

“…7 The etiology of BPPV may involve cranial trauma, metabolic diseases, hormone dysfunction, and other conditions; 4,8 in most cases, however, BPPV is idiopathic. 9 There are several approaches to treat BPPV, such as vestibular habituation exercises, labyrinth sedation drugs, surgical ablation of the posterior semicircular canal, and repositioning maneuvers, which has been more widely adopted than the former methods. 10 The most commonly used approach for the treatment of BPPV is Epley's maneuver; it results in rapid short-term improvements.…”

Qual ity of life (QoL) is significantly impaired by vertigo. The effect of specific treatments on QoL deserves investigation. Aim:To assess the effect of repositioning maneuvers on the QoL of benign paroxysmal positioning vertigo (BPPV) patients. Materials and methods:A retrospective study design consiting of reviews of charts of BPPV patients in a vestibular rehabilitation unit at a teaching institution in Belo Horizonte, MG, Brazil, from 2007 to 2008. Pre-and post-therapy (Epley's repositioning maneuver) scores on the physical, functional and emotional dimensions of the Dizziness Handicap Inventory (DHI) were analyzed.Results: Twenty-one patients were included, eighteen (86%) were females; the average age was 53.2 years. Ten patients presented bilateral BPPV; in eleven it was unilateral. The mean interval between assessments (pre-and post-treatment) was 21 days. The average number of required maneuvers was 2.3 (±1.1). Pre-treatment DHI results showed a significant impact of BPPV on quality of life. Initial scores for physical (17.5), functional (17.3), emotional (13.2) dimensions decreased with therapy: respectively 3.7, 3.9, and 3.2 (p<0.001). Conclusion:In the present sample, Epley's maneuver had a positive and significant effect on emotional, physical and functional dimensions of quality of life, as measured by the DHI scores before and after therapy.

Смещаясь внутри полукруж-ных каналов при поворотах головы или изменении положе-ния тела, они вызывают сравнительно непродолжительные приступы вестибулярного головокружения [2][3][4][5].…”
