Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The standard treatment of posterior semicircular canal benign paroxysmal positional vertigo is the canalith repositioning procedure or the Epley maneuver. Based on the present literature, there is controversy on the efficacy of post-maneuver postural restrictions.The aim of this study was to conduct a randomized controlled trial to compare the treatment efficacy of post-maneuver postural restriction with CRP alone in patients with posterior semicircular canal benign paroxysmal positional vertigo.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo is the most common cause of vertigo. Based on the present literature, there is controversy on the efficacy of post-maneuver postural restrictions.Some study designs were not randomized controlled trials. The present study offers an alternative way of postural restriction to maintain postural restriction as much as possible.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Postural restriction

The patients were instructed to avoid head movements, wear a soft collar during the daytime, wear a supporting pillow and sleep in the semi-upright position at a 45 degree head elevation from the horizontal plane during the nighttime for 48 hours.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Postural restriction

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

The patients were instructed to avoid head movements, wear a soft collar during the daytime, wear a supporting pillow and sleep in the semi-upright position at a 45 degree head elevation from the horizontal plane during the nighttime for 48 hours.

Normal daily activity

The patients did not follow any postural restrictions and were asked to live as normally as possible.
