Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV) is a frequent cause of dizziness and despite of the excellent results with its treatment, there is some controversy about management.
Aim: To assess the efficacy of Epley Maneuver with and without post-maneuver restrictions.
Study design: Prospective randomized.
Material and method: Fifty patients presenting BPPV of the posterior semicircular canal, treated with Epley Maneuver and divided into two groups: study group--23 patients--with post-maneuver restrictions, and control group--27 patients--without post-maneuver restrictions.
Results: No significant difference was found between the studied and the control group.
Conclusion: Post-maneuver restrictions do not influence the efficacy of Epley Maneuver for BPPV management.
