Summary

Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) is the most common vestibular disorder in adults and the treatment of choice is by particle repositioning manoeuvres (PRM). This study aims to compare the treatment efficacy of two home-based exercises, self-Epley manoeuvre (SEM) and Brandt-Daroff exercise (BDE) in patients with posterior canal BPPV based on vertigo resolution, reduction of vertigo intensity, the Dizziness Handicap Inventory scores and the conversion of a positive to negative Dix-Hallpike test.

Conditions

  • Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo

Interventions

OTHER

Self Epley Manoeuvre

The patient has to position himself long sitting on the bed, then turn his head 45 degrees to the problematic side. When in this head position, he will rapidly lie himself supine with a pillow under his shoulders. He then turns his head 90 degrees to the opposite direction followed by turning of his body to the same side before returning to a sitting position at the edge of the bed. Each position should be kept for 30 seconds each, and the patient is required to perform 3 cycles of this manoeuvre just prior to going to bed daily for 2 weeks.

OTHER

Brandt-Daroff Exercise

The patient has to sit at the edge of the bed, turn his head laterally 45 degrees to one side and move rapidly into the side lying position, keeping his head in the same position. He then returns upright and turns his head to the opposite direction and the same movement is repeated on the other side. Each position is held for at least 30 seconds and the patient is required to perform it for 5 repetitions, three times a day, daily for 2 weeks duration.
