Abstract:Objective To compare the efficacy of repositioning maneuver as well as drug treatment for the treatment of benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV). Methods A total of 106 patients diagnosed as BPPV who admitted in Hainan Branch of Chinese PLA General Hospital from August 2012 to October 2014 were recruited in this study. They were randomly divided into 2 age- and gender-matched groups, with 53 patients in each group. The patients of group A were treated with repositioning maneuver, while those from group B with drug therapy. All patients were followed up at 1 week and 3 months after treatment. The efficacies of the 2 treatments were compared between the 2 groups. Results Group A got a total effective rate of 91.57%, significantly higher than group B (76.23%, P<0.05). Conclusion Repositioning maneuver is superior to drug therapy for BPPV.
