Dr. Himanshu Joshi, Dr. Surendra V pimparkar, Dr. Avinash Das

Abstract


BPPV is the leading cause of peripheral vertigo in ENT setting and this vestibular disorder leads to significant morbidity, psychosocial impact, and medical costs. In all previous studies particle repositioning manoeuvre (Epley's manoeuvre) is either compared with medicines for BPPV or either conducted to prove the efficacy of this manoeuvre and  has been found that  Epley's manoeuvre was more effective than medicines alone not only in treating the condition but also in preventing the recurrence. Here in this study we have kept Epley’s manoeuvre common to all 4 study groups (who are positive on Dix Hallpike)and drawn comparison between patient treated with [A] Epley’s manoeuvre alone [,B] Epley’s manoeuvre with Betahistine(02 weeks) , [C] Epley’s manoeuvre with Brandt Daroff exercises and [D] Epley’s manoeuvre, Betahistine(06 weeks) and Brandt daroff exercises to frame most efficient treatment line for post BPPV in clinical settings.
