How do epley and sémont-toupet maneuvers compare in inducing liberatory signs?

In 2012, a study conducted by Toupet, et. al., aimed at identifying the most effective repositioning maneuvers for treating benign positional paroxysmal vertigo (BPPV), researchers compared the efficiency of the Epley (Ep) and Sémont-Toupet (ST) maneuvers. Additionally, the study evaluated the impact of postmaneuver restrictions on vertigo and dizziness, using an analog visual scale (VAS) for assessment. The study included 226 adult patients diagnosed with … Continue reading How do epley and sémont-toupet maneuvers compare in inducing liberatory signs?

Does postural restriction improve success rates in BPPV treatment?

Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV) is a common inner ear condition that leads to brief episodes of dizziness triggered by head movements. The Modified Epley maneuver is a well-established treatment for BPPV, but questions remain regarding the effectiveness of post-maneuver positional restriction in preventing recurrence. In 2014, a study by Hasan Huseyin Balikci and Isa Ozbay aimed to shed light on this matter. Seventy-eight patients … Continue reading Does postural restriction improve success rates in BPPV treatment?

Can a Combination of Maneuvers Revolutionize BPPV Treatment?

In a study conducted in 2014, researchers have explored a novel approach to treating benign positional paroxysmal vertigo (BPPV) of the posterior semicircular canal. This common vestibular disorder, characterized by sudden, intense vertigo spells, can significantly affect an individual’s quality of life. The study, conducted by Tan Wang, Fengwei An, Cuili Xie, Jianqiu Chen, Chunsheng Zhu, and Ying Wang, investigated the combination of the Epley … Continue reading Can a Combination of Maneuvers Revolutionize BPPV Treatment?

Does adding postural restriction enhance BPPV therapeutic outcomes?

In 2006, study conducted by Burak O Cakir, et. al., which deals the effectiveness of postural restriction as an adjunct to canalith repositioning in treating benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) has been investigated. This prospective trial aimed to shed light on the potential benefits of incorporating postural restrictions following the canalith repositioning procedure, a widely used method for BPPV treatment. BPPV, a common vestibular disorder … Continue reading Does adding postural restriction enhance BPPV therapeutic outcomes?
