摘要
In recent years, different forms of physical therapy have been proposed for the treatment of benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV). These mainly consist of maneuvers aiming to reposition and disperse free-floating endolymph particles in the posterior semicircular canal. We report our experience with one of these procedures, the Epley maneuver (EM), in treating 30 cases of BPPV. Twenty-six patients (87%) were cured, while four (13%) did not respond to treatment. These results are similar to those reported in the literature for the EM and the Semont maneuver.
