Comparison of Home-Based Exercise on the Posterior Canal Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo Symptoms

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.
