About this study

The standard treatment of posterior semicircular canal benign paroxysmal positional vertigo is the canalith repositioning procedure or the Epley maneuver. Based on the present literature, there is controversy on the efficacy of post-maneuver postural restrictions.The aim of this study was to conduct a randomized controlled trial to compare the treatment efficacy of post-maneuver postural restriction with CRP alone in patients with posterior semicircular canal benign paroxysmal positional vertigo.

Read the detailed description

Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo is the most common cause of vertigo. Based on the present literature, there is controversy on the efficacy of post-maneuver postural restrictions.Some study designs were not randomized controlled trials. The present study offers an alternative way of postural restriction to maintain postural restriction as much as possible.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Postural restrictionBehavioural

    The patients were instructed to avoid head movements, wear a soft collar during the daytime, wear a supporting pillow and sleep in the semi-upright position at a 45 degree head elevation from the horizontal plane during the nighttime for 48 hours.

  • Normal daily activityBehavioural

    The patients did not follow any postural restrictions and were asked to live as normally as possible.
