Managing benign paroxysmal positional vertigo with Epley’s particle repositioning maneuver

Abstract EN

To verify the effectiveness of Epley's particle repositioning maneuver we designed this study that included 196 patients with BP PV and followed them up for one year.

We found that Epley's maneuver had 97% success rate after nt'o weeks and 94% after one year.

Thirty percent ofpatients complained of lightheadedness in two weeks which dropped to 4% after one year.

We concluded that Epley's maneuver is a very effective modality in managing BPPV with minimal complications and follow up is important in treating these patients
