“…The present study obtained a success rate (abolition of nystagmus and positional vertigo) in 85.19% of patients after a single application of the new maneuver presented and in a further 9.26% after two maneuvers, totaling 94.44% success rate with 1 or 2 maneuvers performed on the same day with an interval of 1 hour between them. These findings are in agreement with previous studies (Epley, 1992;Semont et al, 1988;Ganança et al, 2007;Sinsamutpadung & Kulthaveesup, 2021).…”

Background: Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV) is one of the most frequent pathologies of the vestibular system. The treatment maneuvers involve changes in the position of the head, as proposed by previous research. The objective of this research was to describe a new otolith repositioning maneuver in supine position for patients diagnosed with posterior canal BPPV due to canalithiasis. Methods: we described a new otolith repositioning maneuver that does not involve a change of position in decubitus, being performed in the supine to sitting position. This is an uncontrolled clinical study to evaluate the effects of maneuver after 1 hour and after 1 week. Results: The present study obtained a success rate (abolition of nystagmus and positional vertigo) in 85.19% of patients after a single application of the new maneuver presented and in a further 9.26% after two maneuvers, totaling 94.44% success rate with 1 or 2 maneuvers performed on the same day. Conclusions: The new maneuver studied eliminated nystagmus and positional vertigo in most patients with PC BPPV. It may be preferred for patients who have difficulties in performing maneuvers that involve changing body position on the narrow stretcher and the execution of the lateral decubitus position.

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.
