【 摘 要 】
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.
