Effect of Repositioning Maneuver Type and Postmaneuver Restrictions on Vertigo and Dizziness in Benign Positional Paroxysmal Vertigo

Table 1

Characteristics of the 2 groups treated by different repositioning maneuver sequences: Patients were treated either by 2 Epley (Ep) maneuvers then 1 Semont-Toupet (ST), or 2 ST then 1 Ep. Each patient had a maximum of 3 maneuvers. The sequence was interrupted when a liberatory nystagmus and/or vertigo were observed. In the absence of these two signs, a maximum of 3 maneuvers were performed. There was no difference between group characteristics.
