Epley’s manoeuvre: treatment of choice for benign paroxysmal positional vertigo

Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) is one of the commonest causes of peripheral vestibular disorders. In this prospective study 21 patients with BPPV were treated by Epley’s manoeuvre. All patients had an immediate improvement in their symptoms. Recurrence was noted in three patients who required further treatment sessions with resultant improvement in all. However, one patient who originally had suffered from Me´nie`re’s disease involving the same ear for more than 14 years developed another recurrence which was treated successfully by further application of Epley’s manoeuvre. This study supports the usefulness of Epley’s manoeuvre for the treatment of BPPV.
