ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVES:
To assess the efficacy of the particle repositioning maneuver (PRM) in patients presenting with idiopathic benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) compared with those with evidence of additional peripheral vestibulopathies.METHODS:
Retrospective administration of the Dizziness Handicap Inventory (DHI) to 41 patients with primary BPPV and 31 patients with secondary BPPV to subjectively evaluate their symptoms before and after the PRM.RESULTS:
Both groups indicated a marked improvement in symptoms after the PRM. Only two patients reported an increase in their symptoms after the PRM and both had secondary BPPV.CONCLUSIONS:
The PRM was found to be highly effective in all forms of BPPV, but careful history and judicious testing may identify patients requiring additional intervention to relieve their symptoms.
