What is the primary treatment method for BPPV?

The primary treatment method for Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV) typically involves repositioning maneuvers that aim to move the dislodged otoconia (calcium carbonate crystals) from the semicircular canals back to the vestibule, where they no longer cause symptoms.

The Epley manoeuvre is widely recognized as one of the most effective treatments for BPPV, particularly for the posterior canal variant, as it specifically targets the repositioning of the otoconia.

Brandt-Daroff exercises are an alternative method, often used for self-management or when immediate in-office treatment is not available. These exercises involve a series of movements that help the brain adapt to the conflicting signals caused by the dislodged crystals.

The Semont manoeuvre is another repositioning technique that can be used, also designed to treat the posterior canal type of BPPV through a rapid change of head position to facilitate the movement of the otoconia.

Given that all these techniques serve as effective treatment methods for managing BPPV, the inclusive choice recognizes the validity and applicability of each method in clinical practice. This comprehensive approach is critical since individual responses to treatment can vary, and having multiple options allows clinicians to
