Imai T, Takeda N, Ikezono T, Shigeno K, Asai M, Watanabe Y et al (2017) Classification, diagnostic criteria and management of benign paroxysmal positional vertigo. The DHI improvement at 2nd visit for Brandt-Daroff was 21.17 points, “sham” 8.05, Semont 14.67 and Epley 61.78 ( p = 0.001). Epley maneuver was superior to Brandt Daroff, “sham” and Semont maneuvers on nystagmus resolution and DHI improvement in patients with BPPV. A total of 47.06% patients (n = 16) had negative DHM at 1st visit. Patients were randomized to Brandt-Daroff (n = 9), “sham” (n = 7), Semont (n = 9) and Epley (n = 9) group. We included 34 patients (25 females, 9 males). Resolution was defined as the abscence of nystagmus. Main Outcome Measures: Absence of nystagmus on DHM at 1st and 2nd visit evaluations and DHI score. Patients underwent allocation, 1st visit (at 1 week with reprise of original maneuver if persistent nystagmus) and 2nd visit (2 to 4 weeks) with repetitions of both DHM and DHI. Patients were randomized into 4 groups: Brandt-Daroff, “sham”, Semont and Epley.

Exclusion criteria: other causes of peripheral or central vertigo. Inclusion criteria were: patients with unilateral rotatory nystagmus on Dix-Hallpike Maneuver (DHM). The aim was to compare the effectiveness of Brandt-Daroff, Semont and Epley maneuver in BPPV resolution. A Single Blind RCT in a Secondary Care Center was performed.
